Crush about 10 dried peppers into a quart of water and let steep for a couple of days. Pour the pepper juice through a strainer and than put the hot liquid in the firdge. Mix 1 tbl of hot pepper water with a quart of normal water and spray on plants. You can also add soap to help with sticking.

You can make a good garlic spray the same way only using garlic instead of peppers and than mix the two for a powerful spray.

I use the cayenne pepper you can buy as a spice. I strain first through a tea strainer and then a cloth...keeps the sprayer from getting clogged.
