Anyone tried garlic spray...if so, what on?
I saw the great garden revival and he made some up. He also said it kills/deters most pests including slugs!!!!!.
Going to need something if i'm going to be growing Lillies next year for lilly beatle and slugs
Also, how do you make it? Could you use garlic paste instead of cloves? What about crushing the cloves to a pulp and putting them in a small mesh bag and leaving them in the sprayer? Any thoughts or suggestions?

I've used it a few times andy, - mostly against Caterpillers & Co in the GH with my toms.. Grab a coffee and have a gander here...there is another link somewhere I think - will go and look for it.. gardenworld.proboards.com/post/398232/thread |

Me again... Pest Alerts thread gardenworld.proboards.com/post/250698/threadPest control the natural way gardenworld.proboards.com/post/94564/threadOne thing that is very important Andy is that whatever you use any gunge has to be sieved out - I left a bit in and it clogs the nozzle of a spray up immediately of course.. Garlic does work - the only thing that is a tad off putting is that if you have wonderful smelly flowers then spraying with garlic really doesn't make them very appealing, even if it gets rids of the pests... My GH absolutely stank of garlic when I used it....although my tomatoes didn't taste of the garlic. |
