1. Peel the cloves from a whole garlic and put in the blender with water
2. Blend it for 1 minute
3. Add biodegradable liquid soap and blend again
4. Let the mixture steep for 12 hours to let the garlic infuse the liquid with its sulphur compounds
5. Filter the mixture with a muslin cloth or similar
6. Pour the garlic-infused liquid into a reusable spray bottle and store in the fridge between uses
Spritz plants in the evening, holding the spray about 15-30 cm away from the foliage, and cover both sides of the leaves with an even coating of the garlic pesticide spray.
Reapply every few days (and after any rainfall) when your plants are suffering with an infestation, or once a week as a deterrent.
