I have used DE, it kills everything but the worms, but also beneficial insects. You can apply dry or with a sprayer and it dries. You have to reapply it every time it gets wet though.
This is correct. There is a certain point that if I don’t use DE, I will lose my vegetables so it’s a conscientious choice to bring out the big guns. I use garlic spray or bT first. If they persist out comes the DE. I am growing to eat so it is what it is. Hard choices sometimes 🥲
@@hiddenhen We use home grown, organically cared for garlic & I haven’t had any experience with this issue. I’d say, if you’re able, find a trusted source for organic garlic. I haven’t dealt with garlic rust at all but it sounds like you have. If there’s a way to see the plant and not just buy the bulb that may help in your selection. Another way to minimize this problem would be to grow your own then there would be no doubt as to its health. Thank you for watching!
Will this harm my flower bed and vegetable garden? Also do you think it will kill cutworms?. I had my first asparagus growing it was about 10” tall and it was just cut off ! Found the larvae and moths too.😢 .
You can use garlic spray on your veggies and flowers BUT only spray in the evening. For cutworms I would use Monterey bT. It’s a fungus that’s not going to hurt pollinators. The pest ingests it and ka-boom. Done. I also use diatomaceous earth. DE needs to replaced when it rains. However, it works great on worms and hard shelled bugs. bT is only good for soft bugs (worms, caterpillars). I also squash bugs on sight. This year has been horrible for bugs! I hope you find the organic solution that works for you!
I did indeed add 2 tablespoons of my homemade hot sauce to the gallon sprayer. Be sure to spray early morning or evening & watch which way the wind blows! It’s powerful stuff. Thanks for watching!
That’s the thing with organic solutions. A rain or a good garden watering and you have to reapply. Through the JADAM method I’ve learned that the addition of Castile soap will make the product “sticky longer. In the end, I’m willing to make repeated trips to keep chemicals outside of our garden but not everyone has that luxury.
So grasshoppers are ONE pest I haven’t had in the garden yet. But your question intrigued me so I did some research. It seems YES garlic spray will work. Of course, as with any natural spray it will have to be reapplied. Other ways to keep them at bay are: make sure tall grasses are cut down. Seems they love tall grass and weeds. Some veggies are disliked by grasshoppers too! Plant Tomatoes, squash and peas. Seems they don’t like them. Also some flowers seem to annoy grasshoppers! Try these: ianthus Lilac Forsythia Crepe myrtle Moss rose Verbena Salvia Sage Lantana Juniper Artemisia Jasmine and reduce your population in a beautiful way! Hope this helps and thank you for watching!! 💚
@@lvigilful Oh gosh! That’s awful. I had a terrible infestation of bean beetles. What it came to was me going out daily and spraying the garlic spray for 2 weeks. Finally they disappeared. Best of luck!!
Nope. Not hard at all. Some channels show the instructions period. Some channels chat with their followers. Seems this channel isn’t for you. Best of luck with your organic pursuits!
It will repel them but you must constantly check your plants and spray as you see them return. They dislike the smell so they will try to find easier pickings. They are horrible pests! We don’t live close to others who garden so I use this along with traps to keep our plants healthy. Happy gardening!

Ernie just learned this a couple weeks ago. It made a huge difference in the amount of aphids that were on certain plants. TFS!
What great news! Love it when a natural product works! TFW!

Thanks 🙏
You are welcome!
Love this! Will definitely be trying this. We all need easy to remember recipes that work up quickly 🙂
Exactly AND with things on hand!
Awesome tip. Gosh those squash bugs are relentless. Best of luck!!!
Thank you! They’ve met their match 🤣
I'll definitely be using this!! First time garden over here and we are going to need all the help we can get!
Oh boy, sending best wishes. This year is our 2nd garden and I'm just as over my head as the first!!
doesn't market garlic sometimes carry garlic rust? would garlic spray then potentially infect your growing areas with the garlic rust fungus?

I am excited to try this we had the worst time last year with bug 🐛🤦♀️. Thank you for this info ❤️.
You’re quite welcome! I always prefer to start with something natural. Truly, the only store bought remedy I own is Monterey bT. Thanks for watching!
That’s a great idea! I did the same thing with Neem oil last year. 😫
Oh no! 🤣 I think I will pre-mix my Neem oil so when I get hot under the collar... I won’t regret it later! Thanks for watching!

Did you add hot sauce?

I believe that this garlic spray will work for mosquitoes also.
Well that is a win - win!
Have tried Garlic sprays. They do not last long enough to do much.

@@arusticrenaissance Thank you! I have a terrible infestation with grasshoppers. I’m trying everything.

@@arusticrenaissance Thanks again. I’ll let you know if it works.
Unorganized this video should have took 5 minutes! Just wanted to see how to make its not that hard. 11:26

Does this work for Japanese Beetles 🪲

@@arusticrenaissance Thank you so much!! I'll keep an eye on those creepy beetles 🪲
