Garlic water recipe
(For Crops and plants)


What you will need:


  • 1 Spray Bottle
  • 8 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • ​2 liters of distilled water (tap water is fine if you have soft water)
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper (powdered)
  • 1 Tablespoon natural soap​

Blend Garlic with 1/3 cup water.
In a small pot, bring water to a boil and add pureed garlic.
Reduce heat to medium, and allow solution to simmer for 45 min. 
​Remove from heat and add cayenne pepper. Allow mixture to cool.
Once cool, add natural soap. Stir mixture.
Place contents into spray bottle. Your natural insecticide spray is now ready to use. 

For prevention, spray on plants every few days. If you actually have a pest problem, I recommend spraying plants daily.
This garlic spray works well against, slugs, and aphids. Due to garlic's natural anti-fungal properties, this solution can also protect your plants from some diseases. Other small critters (we have voles where we are) and even rabbits may be repelled by this spray. 
*Note 1: Avoid contact with eyes; rinse heavily with water if this happens. 
*Note 2: Avoid spraying on plants in full sun and during particularly hot days as this may result in plants burning.
