Garlic spray is a simple, natural, and effective method for controlling aphids and other pests in your garden. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 to 5 cloves of garlic (depending on desired strength)
• 1 liter of water (or half a liter for a stronger solution)
• Optional: A few drops of dish soap (such as unscented liquid soap or garden soap)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic: Finely chop the garlic cloves. For a stronger solution, use more garlic.
2. Soak the Garlic: Let the chopped garlic soak in water for a few hours or overnight. This process can enhance the potency of the solution.
3. Blend or Stir: After soaking, blend the garlic and water mixture to release all the compounds. Alternatively, you can simply stir it well.
4. Add Dish Soap (Optional): If you choose to use dish soap, add a few drops to the mixture. This helps the spray adhere to the plants better.
5. Strain the Solution: Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve into a spray bottle to remove any solid particles.

Using Garlic Spray:

1. Spray Application: Spray the garlic solution directly on the affected plants, making sure to cover all surfaces evenly.
2. Timing: Apply the spray during the early morning or late evening to avoid direct sunlight and protect beneficial insects like bees.
3. Precautions: Test the spray on a small area of a plant first to ensure there are no adverse effects. Keep the spray out of reach of children and pets.

Benefits of Garlic Spray:

• Natural Insect Repellent: Garlic contains compounds that repel aphids and other pests.
• Antimicrobial Properties: Helps protect plants from fungal infections.
• Cost-Effective: Inexpensive and easy to make at home.
