This organic pesticide won’t kill all the bugs in your garden, but may annoy them enough so that they move over to your neighbour’s. I personally think that if you don’t want to use any chemicals in your garden, you need to arrange your plants carefully, to exploit the fact that certain plants naturally repel various insects. This can help too, but from experience, you do need to spray often as this product isn’t deadly, but just mildly annoying.

Thanks for the advice on the environmentally friendly spray. There are so many harmful chemical garden sprays out there and i’m always environmentally concious towards anything I use in my home or garden. Its an interesting concoction that I will have to try out.
Thanks for the link! I’m all for environmentally friendly, and I love anything DIY as well! :)
We’ve just built some raised beds and our cabbages are under attack from slugs and caterpillars. Will this help repel them as well?
I feel like DIY should be sweeping our consumer-driven economy. Props for this Organic Pesticide! It’s something I’d think would be featured at the Maker Faire: http://www.7×7.com/blogs/clamour/maker-faire-celebration-all-things-diy
This is so interesting. Who would have ever thought you could make pesticides from vegetables? Love the post, I might just have to try this stuff out. Love the blog, keep up the good work!
