Re: Organic Insect Repellents, Organic Disease Control for your Organic Garden.htm

[Guest guest]

Thank you Joyce I knew about planting garlic around the plants and the soapspray. So it's interesting to get some other remedies too. And if I remember it, I think there is also one made with nettles. I have to search it up, but ..... where did I stored that, that's the big question. Think you have to let the nettles soaring in water for a day and then using that water to spray. If I don't forget it, I'll look for it. Except if somebody else confirm that I'm right

Have nice day,

e :-)

Organic Insect Repellents, and Organic Disease Control Spray Recipes

More and mor eif us are turnign to organic gardening for our helath and the health of our families. The use of organic insect and disease control methods are more friendly to the environment, too. They are comprised of common organic materials, soaps and occasionally other environmentally friendly materials. They are often home brewed recipes that you can make and save money along the way. Or, if you are not inclined to make up a batch of your own, they are readily available at most garden supply stores. If you have a "recipe" for home made organic insect repellents or for organic disease control, please email us so we can share it with others and do our part for the environment!

Insecticide Garlic Spray: Ingredients:

1

Garlic Bulb

2 Cups

Water

1 Gallon

Water

Instructions:

Take an entire garlic bulb and two cups of water and blend in blender.

Mix at high speed for 1-2 minutes.

Pour into a container and set aside for up to one day.

Strain liquid through a cheese cloth.

Mix liquid with one gallon of water.

Apply liberally on top and bottom of leaves.

Insect Repellent Soap Spray: Ingredients: Liquid Dish Detergent

Instructions:

Put one tablespoon of dish detergent per gallon into a sprayer.

Apply liberally on top and bottom of leaves.

Re-apply after rain or one to two weeks.

Hot Pepper Spray: This can be used to repel, deer, rabbits and other pests from your flowers and some vegetables. Note, use caution with vegetables as a peppery taste may remain on the fruit. Ingredients:

6

Hot Peppers, the hotter the better

2 Cups

Water

1 quart

Water

Instructions:

Put hot peppers and two cups of water into a blender.

Mix at high speed for 1-2 minutes.

Pour into a container and set aside for up to one day.

Strain liquid through a cheese cloth.

Add liquid into a one quart container. Fill container to top with water.

Apply liberally to plants. Re-apply every week to two weeks or after a rain.

Organic Disease Control - Fungicide/ Powdery Mildew Spray: Ingredients:

1 Gallon

Water

3 Tablespoons

Baking Soda

1 Tablespoon

Bleach

1 Teaspoon

Dishwashing Liquid

Instructions:

Snip and remove leaves that are worst affected.

Mix ingredients with water.

Spray remaining leaves top and undersides.

Apply a heavier dose on leaves that have signs of infection and only lightly on unaffected leaves as bleach can actually harm and discolor the leaves.

Extremely important: Do not use too much bleach! Use no more than 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. We hesitate to recommend using bleach as it can harm your plants if too much is applied. Use it at your own risk and try to avoid spraying it on healthy leaves.

Got Milk!? Some scientists believe milk has germicidal properties, and is effective against Powdery Mildew? Hard to believe? Here are a couple of articles in support of it with research to back it up: Milk on Powdery Mildew Home and Garden Television Pioneer Thinking- Got Mildew? Get Milk?

Others: Marigolds and Nasturtiums are commonly grown as companion plants as they keep pests away. Try putting some of the leaves and stems in your blender. Let it soak for a day, drain, add water to dilute and apply liberally. If you are in to experimenting, look up other companion plants and give them a try. You just might invent a new recipe to share with us!

I started 4 varieties of nasturtiums, last month. They keep insects away, due to their hot peppery scent. The blossoms and leaves are edible, too. And they reseed themselves. :-)

Marigolds and zinnias, actually work by drawing the insects to them, instead of the crop.

Had to look calendular up. They remind me of zinnias. Bet they're cousins. :-) All of my flower beds have perennials in them, or at least flowers that reseed themselves. Makes life so much easier, doesn't it! ;-)
