  ***INSECTICIDAL SPRAY: You can make your own that is      
  simple and effective as those you can buy in stores...    
  3 T dishwashing detergent (I use Ivory but any mild       
  detergents will work but not those with                   
  degreasers)...into 1 gallon water.  Use in hose end       
  sprayer or in mist bottles (LABEL) For more repelling     
  actions of insects add 3 T garlic juice to this           
  mixture...some even add 1 T vegetable oil to make it      
  adhere better Soap kills the bugs and garlic juice        
  keeps them repelled longer than without...You apply to    
  plants and soak undersides as well as tops, even the      
  soil. Let set 1-2 hours then rinse...Rinsing is to        
  keep soap buildup off plants, also cleans plants. So      
  it does a lot to help your plants.                        
                                                            
  *** Garlic Juice;3 to 4 cloves press and place in a 2     
  quart jar filled with warm water. let sit out             
  overnight then strain and use for garden recipes          
  ***concentrated garlic can be used in place of the 3-4    
  cloves of garlic...(which can be found in the dairy       
  sections or where produce is kept in grocery stores).     
  Press the fresh garlic and place in mason jars. Making    
  Garlic juice was mentioned in the March 93 issue of       
  Organic gardening to be used to prevent cornear worm.
