All Purpose Insecticide Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 large onion
• 4 chillies
• 2 garlic
• Bi-carb soda - (optional)
• Molasses (optional)
• Permanganate (optional)

How to make it? 

Take all the above ingredients and chop into small pieces. Put it in a container and cover it with warm soppy water.  Soak this overnight and next day morning strain the liquid. Add 5 litters of water to it and spray it on all the pants. This will kill all insects.

To improve this further, I have also added molasses and 3 teaspoon bi-carb soda to make a fungicide also. Molasses and soap will help to stick the content to the leaves. If you have permanganate of potash or Condy's crystals add 1 pinch to this liquid.

Scales in my Rose plant

Today I noticed my Rose plant is infested by scales. The whole branch is covered now.. Not sure how I missed to check this.. Anyway I have been told that this can be easily fixed by applying soap and oil concoction.. So I made one by myself. The details about the recipe is as below.


For smaller batch

1 tablespoon or 15ml dishwashing liquid
1/4th cup/60 ml vegetable oil
mix this well
and add 1 part concoction with 20 part water and spray..

This will suffocate the scales and kill it..

Try to do this after sunset...
