Organic sprays are more friendly to the environment. Here are some homemade recipes that u can make and save some cash money. Grasshoppers are the reason i made this, today i will kill those suckers. My only problem is grasshoppers but it might work for other insects to.

Garlic Spray
1 garlic bulb
2 cups water
1 gallon water

Ok take one garlic bulb and 2 cups of water and put in a blender. blend at high speed at 1-2 minutes. Strain the particles through some strainer. Mix liquid with a gallon of water. Spray the whole plant leaves.

Regular Soap Spray
liquid dish detergent

1 tablespoon of dish soap in 1 gallon. Shake and spray

Hotpepper Spray/ Oh Yeah:evil:
This can be used to repel deer rabbits and other pest from flowers vegetables and herbs. Actually i havent tried this on my herbs but i gurantee this would kill those grasshoppers. Note, use caution with vegetables and buds as a peppery taste may remain on the plant.

1-6 hot peppers, the hottest the bestest
id recommend 3 for the herbs or less.
2 cups water
4 cups water

Put in hotpeppers and 2 cups in the blender. Mix at highspeeds for 1-2 minutes. Strain liquid and add to a container bottle with 4 cups of water for spraying. Apply to leaves. Re-apply every week or two.

Fresh Neem Oil not the one from India
marijuana leaves, one handfull or maybee squeeze all the leaves into the size of a softball.
1.5 teaspoons
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons baking soda if you want, not needed or just a lil bit
2 cups of water

Mix ingredients into a blender. strain and add to a container with 2 cups of water. haha i couldnt find the original recipe so i made this one up. U can sub in the weed for regular lawn grass or some grass that will be acidic.

Fungicide/ Powdery mildew spray
1 gallon water
3 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoons bleach
1 teaspoon dish soap

Remove mold from plants that are affected. dont just leave mold on the plants. Ok mix ingredients with water.
Spray leaves. Apply a heavier dose on leaves that have signs of infection and only spray lightly on unaffected plants as bleach can harm and discolor the plant leaves or buds. Xtremely important: do not use to much bleach maybee less than 1 teaspoon. Be carefull dont use to much. Avoid spraying on healthy leaves or buds.
