NEW: Click here for the FAQ to have most of your questions answered and to here how it's working in other gardens: http://anoregoncottage.com/diy-garlic-mint-garden-insect-spray-testimonials-faqs/ When Jami's basil plants, trumpet vine, and green beans were being eaten alive by unseen bugs, she had to find an effective way to get rid of the pests. She couldn't use chemicals because some of these plants were herbs she used in cooking. But the organic remedies she tried simply didn't work. Combining several natural pest rememdies she'd read about, she created a Garlic-Mint Garden Insect Spray. It has just four ingredients: garlic, mint leaves, cayenne pepper, and a small amount of biodegradable dishwashing liquid. Go to her blog for the actual recipe and cooking instructions: http://www.anoregoncottage.com/homemade-garlic-mint-garden-insect-spray-really-works/ Jami sprayed it all over the plants and the first thing she noticed was it smelled good. Within two weeks the plants had noticeably improved. After a month they were back to full health. The bugs, whatever they were, had been driven away by the spray. (She never found any dead bodies.) Watch the video and then make a batch of spray for your garden. Get more great organic gardening ideas at www.AnOregonCottage.com.

I loved your video and saved the recipe, do you think I can try it on my cabbages and kale? Those worms destroy everything

Does this expired? I wonder if I didn't put biodegradable soap, the garlic and mint will expire.

will this help for mildew too?

any substitutes for cayenne peper?

What a cunt... KILL THE BUG!

Do we need to put the biodegradable soap

I wonder if the garlic affects the flavor of the basil? does it end up tasting like garlic basil leaves?

I m having problems with ants. do you have anything for that?
I m trying this recipe and see if it works yo get rid of ants.

I had tried that recipe before I came across your video. You're right. I should have tested it first. Thank you for your advice.

Hi, Thank you very much for your video. I tried the recipe: Garlic + chili + biodegradable liquid, all minced and mixed with about 700ml of water. I sprayed at night. My plants' leaves got burned at the edges, some on the whole leave. Is it the reason why you have to boil the mixture and let it rest overnight? The mixture you made seem thick but your plants are still ok.

I'm willing to try just about anything natural, to save my cucumbers and tomato plants

How much garlic and water did you use in the solution?

Sounds awesome ...thanks so much

Don't boil it, it destroys the active ingredient in the garlic. Just look at any garlic with dark spots on it, they never penetrate deep into the garlic, because crushing garlic releases the caustic chemical that kills anything that tries to eat into it. The chemical is destroyed by boiling. It's probably the unnatural chemical in the soap and the smell of mint that is keeping the bug away, it has nothing to do with the garlic.

You can use essential oil if peppermint and garlic powder if u don't want to chop garlic. It still works.

You could also use garlic powder just like cayenne powder and use essential oil of peppermint or Rosemary and then the soap. It is a little easier to make and u can use ur mint for cooking or other recipes., a table spoon of pure cold pressed neem oil wouldn't hurt either. Add when you add the soap.

what about brocolli

awesome!

Thank you!!! What a great video too.
