Here are a few different options to save your garden this summer. Keep pests and weeds out of your garden. The best part – it’s super inexpensive!

For the different sprays you’ll need:

• water
• dish soap
• Red Hot or Tabasco
• Spray Bottle
• Vinegar

First up: Bug spray!
Put 4 cups of water in a squirt bottle.
(Since my bottle was 4 cups in size, I reduced the water just slightly to give the next step room.)

Add 1 tsp of dish soap.
Put the lid on and use this to spray on bugs on your plants. Don’t forget the underside of the leaves too. You’ll need to make sure it lands on the bugs and be careful as it will kill the good bugs too. The soap dissolves the bug’s outer shell.

Next Spray: A Red Pepper Spray
Just like the above put 4 cups in a squirt bottle, 1 tsp. dish soap, and add 1 Tbsp. Red Hot.
(Since my bottle was 4 cups in size, I reduced the water just slightly to leave room for the Red Hot.)

Mix, and spray on your plants. This is meant to keep the Deer, Squirrels, Mice, Birds, etc off your plants. Wear gloves to protect yourself from the red pepper when using this one. Test the plant in a small space first to make sure the plant can handle it, wait 4 days to see. Spray once per week, and if it rains you’ll need to re-apply.

Weed Killer!
Pour boiling water onto weeds and it will kill them. No harmful chemicals going into your garden.

Weed Killer – opt 2
Spray vinegar onto your weeds, the acidity eats at the weed and kills it. It will kill grass too, so this one is a great use for weeds in mulch, rocks, etc. I have learned that the strength of the vinegar does matter.

What I do now… I add the above jug to a weed sprayer. I also add 1/2 cup salt & 1/2 cup dish detergent to it. This helps kill those nasty weeds. Vinegar breaks down the plant, salt dehydrates, and the soap makes it stick to the plant.
