Having trouble ridding your precious plants of these destructive little pricks?
I was...but I wanted an organic solution that wouldn't harm beneficial insects or add unnatural chemicals to my garden.
So i came up with this recipe which can be used safely and effectively to eradicate mites as well as white fly and other pests.
Ingredients:
Peel of one orange
2 cloves of garlic
A handful of basil leaves
Generous sprinkling of chili powder
a grinding of pepper
2 cups of boiling water
Method:
Simply combine ingredients in a bowl and soak with the 2 cups of boiling water.
Leave overnight so that the ingredients can seep their pest repellent properties into the water and combine to make an effective brew.
Strain the rested liquid and pour into a spray container. Soak the undersides of leaves. Do so daily if necessary.
Note: This will make approximately 2 cups of solution. To make a larger amount simply use greater quantities but keep proportions the same.
Hope this helps those searching for an easy and organic solution to mites and other pests.
Happy gardening!
