Organic Garden Pesticides
When I first started my garden, my neighbor's cat loved it too, as a litter box. Not a great thing and I
wasn't a happy camper! I used a mixture of cayenne pepper, pepper,
garlic anything smelly in my home with water and sprayed my garden. The
cat didn't like it. My first experience with home made organic garden
pesticides worked.
Here are a few more tips for getting rid of pests in your garden.
1. Eggshells and salt natural garden pesticide, I learned this one from
my mom. Crush the eggshells and add to the soil. It prevents the plants
from snails and slugs. The eggshells act like the broken pieces of glass
for these insects. You can add a little salt and that will work if the
eggshells don't.
2. Alliums natural garden pesticide - the alliums is a bulbous plant,
bulbous plants are onion, garlic, the smelly ones. Mix equal parts of
crushed garlic cloves as gallons of water. You can also use vegetable
oil or tea for better results. Spray on the plants, this would help in
killing the soft body insects and can even paralyze the flying insects.
3. Dishwashing soaps natural garden pesticides - mix some drops of
dishwashing liquid soap into the water and mix it well by shaking well
and then you need to apply on the effected plants. By applying this
solution on the plants it will paralyze the insects attacking them.
4. Natural garden pesticides made of Neem - Neem is the one of the main
ingredient that is used for making several natural pesticides. The
extract of azadirachtin from the neem tree is very low toxic insecticide. They are used for
destroying the soft body insects and in addition they help in increasing
the capability of reproduction of the plants.
By using organic and natural garden pesticides you are not only saving
your children and pets from diseases but also helping our environment by
not putting toxic chemicals in our soil.
