| Description | Make the base: Remove the garlic cloves (you don't need to peel them though) from the head of garlic. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and 1 cup water to a blender and process until it forms a runny paste. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any small chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. The remaining water is your "base." Yields about 1 cup of base. Make a batch of insecticidal soap: Mix 2 tablespoons of the base mixture, with 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish soap and 2 cups water. Combine in a squirt bottle and spray away! A couple important notes: *Insecticidal soap works best when done on a day without rain. Rain will wash it away, and you want to keep the mixture on the leaves as long as possible to deter pests. *Be sure to spray the backs and fronts of the leaves of the plants. Many pests hide on the underside of the leaves. *You may respray daily, as needed. *This insecticidal soap can be used even if you are about to harvest your vegetables. |
