Garlic Pepper Tea: A Natural Pesticide
by

As a gardener, I occasionally have run-ins with insects, especially aphids. When this happens, I have a safe and natural way to dispatch these devils. Garlic Pepper Tea. Every summer I put together a batch of Garlic Pepper Tea and in no time at all insect infestations are gone.
Enjoyed the project?

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I’ve seen a few mixtures to prevent deer and other critters to stay away, however I have two Yorkie puppies that will not stay away from my hostas. Being that it’s poisonous to dogs I’ve had to remove or pot most of mine and a lot of them are not doing well. Anybody out there know how to keep the pups away with out destroying the hostas or leashing the dogs, please!
