Save Your Garden By Using DIY Organic Pesticides

Share

The negative effects of chemical pesticides can never be understated. With that, we want to share you some DIY organic pesticides you can use in your garden.

Below is an excerpt of an article that shares about organic pesticides:

Castile Soap Spray

Horticultural soap sprays like this one are a simple way to eliminate small soft-bodied insects like aphids, mealybugs and spider mites.

This organic pesticide recipe couldn’t be simpler to make – all you need is a natural soap like Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap which is free of synthetic additives and fragrances.

Stir in a tablespoon of the soap to a quart of warm water and spray onto your plants. To boost its pesticide power, consider adding a few drops of one of the essential oils listed above, or a teaspoon of garlic or cayenne powder.

Citrus Insecticide

This fresh-scented lemon pesticide is especially useful if your garden is inundated with aphids – those sap-sucking insects that do untold damage to your precious plants.

To make, simply bring a pint of water to the boil. Meanwhile, grate the rind from one lemon. Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the lemon rind. Allow to steep overnight before straining the liquid through a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve. Pour this clear liquid into a spray bottle and apply to the top and underside of the leaves of the affected plant.

*Note that the mixture must come into contact with the insects’ bodies to be effective.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a fine powder made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms whose skeletons are rich in a natural substance called silica. Shaped like a cylinder, these minuscule fossils have razor sharp edges which don’t affect humans but can cut and kill parasites and small insects.

Sprinkle the silica-rich powder around the garden on the affected areas. You can spread it by hand or by using a dust applicator bottle. If it rains right after the dust application, it will need to be reapplied.

Try these organic pesticides and see how your garden will bloom. Share it with your friends and families too.
