This kills soil bugs and deters all other bugs ( including bees so be careful)
Its also a powerful fungicide and is antibacterial.
It is 100% safe for humans and children.
Boil 2 litres of water with 2 Tablespoons of Cayenne Pepper, I Teaspoon of Black Pepper, 2 Tablespoons Cloves and 3 Tablespoons of Cinnamon.
Buy all in bulk cheaply from your local spice store like bin inn.
Boil for 10 minutes.
Take off heat. let cool a little bit but keep warm/to hot.
Pour water liquid into your Bath, add 3 small drops of dish washing liquid to the bath.
add cold water to the full height of your pots.
Place pot plants in bath and let sit in the liquid for 1 hour.
remove pots and let drain (the excess water)
Don't water the pot plants for 4 weeks at least, let the potting mix dry out as much as possible.
Collect some of the bath water mix and filter it through a old rag, pour the filtered water into a spray bottle or 25 litre sprayer, spray the foliage of the pot plants and all your outside garden until the bath liquid is all gone.
Store unused spray to spray foliage every 8 weeks, for extra grunt add 10ml of neem oil to 10 litres, if ever needed.
The added neem oil makes for the holy grail of natural sprays with this mix, if you have any other plant bio oil that will substitute for the neem.
Its amazing stuff.
Enjoy.
