Since my babies will likely be sprouting tomorrow it’s time to prep some pest control.
This is my own recipe of a garlic and chili oil foliar spray. If it doesn’t look like milk and burn your eyes when you’re done you didn’t do it right.
Recipe
1 quart purified or distilled water
2 bulbs of garlic
2 red chilis
1/2 cup vegetable oil
First boil quart of water. Put bulbs of garlic and chilis in blender or food processor then add just enough water to cover and set the rest aside. Blend until a smooth paste forms. Then add the oil and the rest of the water and blend well until it has about the consistency of milk. Once blended poor into a container and let it steep over night or for about 24 hours. After steeping strain through a cheese cloth into another container to get most of the chunks out so it doesn’t clog your spray bottle. Store in a dark cool dry place until ready to use. When you use it make sure to dilute it 1 cup per gallon or approximately 1 part garlic chili oil to 10 parts water give or take.
Fair warning, like I said, this stuff is potent and will make your eyes burn and your hands smell like garlic for days so make sure if you’re sensitive to garlic and chilis to use gloves and mix it in a well ventilated area.
Happy growing folks.
