Sounds like a tasty accompaniment to go with supper, right? Well not to the aphids and other insect pests in your garden! My parents had an aphid problem last week, but not after using this spray! In fact, it worked so well getting rid of the aphids that they sprayed their whole garden with it. We don't know if the spray kills the insects or just sends them packing, but either way, your plants will thank you for not spraying them with chemicals!
Garlic Peppercorn Aphid Spray
3 bulbs of garlic (whole heads)
32 peppercorns (You can use hot pepper flakes too, I've heard.)
4 quarts of water
Boil in a dutch oven for 10 minutes. Strain and pour into sprayer. Spray onto plants.
*You may have to reapply after it rains*

Thanks Emily! I don't have aphids, but I might just try this for some other bugs.
