that is good information. I am going to try the garlic spray soon. Thanks!
Thank you for the useful links, jordung. I'm going to try the herbal spray on the catepillars tomorrow.
I'd like to add my favorite spray for mildew. I use it on my zinnias, squash, and roses.
Baking Soda spray: 1 teaspoon baking soda per quart of water, plus a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid to help it stick. The recipe is from Pat Stone's Easy Gardening 101.
hmstyl, you'll like the garlic spray. It works great on aphids.
The only draw back with these homemade sprays is that I have to spray regularly.
