Great recipes you’ve listed here. I’ve always been one to use homemade recipes in the garden. If you can take em out without chemicals, than thats the way to go!
Those recipes are surprisingly simple and harmless! I really like the idea, so I’ll write an article about it and link back to your recipes.
Thanks Dan. With Spring and summer coming up, these recipes are going to become more and more important. They are also much cheaper than the expensive pesticides you would normally buy.
Your information is very useful but I was wondering regular dish soap also has chemicals in it, do you think instead of using dish soap, that Basic H2 from Shaklee or their dish wash concentrate might work? If you are not sure, that’s ok I will try it and let you know. 🙂
I hope this works for spiders. This year the spiders seem to have gone into overdrive.
how often can i spray the plants?
My 9 year old daughter brought home a small cabbage plant from school with the objective to grow it to harvest.After transplanting it into our garden,it did quite well;until 3 small caterpillars began to ravage it.I concocted a home-made pesticide(with the intent of a repellent)to stop the invading aliens.I mixed 3 tablespoons of canola oil,2 tablespoons of dishsoap and 1 teaspoon of hotsauce.I coated the plant thoroughly.The little green pests were dead in just moments.Wow! It was amazing.
