It’s that time of year again! Now that our gardens are in full swing, the bugs are relishing the menu. Insecticidal soap, made from Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap works very well in ridding your plants of these pesky pests.

Supplies:

Spray bottle

Castile soap (any variety – but there is a chance you’ll taste the essential oils, so you may want to go with the Baby Unscented or Peppermint)

Cayenne pepper, cinnamon, or powdered garlic

Water

Plant Spray for Bugs

1 Tbsp. (15 mL) in a quart (1 L) of water. Spray plants twice daily, in the cool of the day, until infestation clears.
