tagsLance,
A friend of mine gave me this recipe - she got it from the Dallas Morning News. Haven't tried it yet--have to use up the $9.00 bottle I bought at the garden center first!
This seems fairly simple to make. It's for, "common pests" such as whiteflies, aphids, June bugs, squash bugs, loopers ??, spider mites.
1 head of garlic
2 cups water
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp mineral oil
Cut head of garlic into 8 pieces discarding the root end. Place in blender with water cayenne pepper and mineral oil. Blend till smooth and liquid
Let stand 2 hours then blend again. Strain into 1 gallo container Fill container with water and refrigerate.
To use, pour one-quarter cup into a 1-quart spray jar amd fll to the top with water.
