A friend who grows copious quantities of beautiful garlic was recently extolling its virtues as a 'gentle' pest control solution.
Made up by crushing the garlic, soaking in water for a bit, then straining and putting the solution into a spray bottle. Particularly useful for those little black bug critters that attacked his cherry tree. Also good for aphids (it's a devil when they get into a broccoli head when it's ready to pick).
Has anyone tried this method? It's all very well relying on birds or ladybirds to do the job. . .any good for other critters?
