To make the garlic spray, peel and grind about 50 grams of garlic with a little water, then mix the paste into one and a half liters of water. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, let it cool completely, and strain it through a clean cloth or fine sieve the next day.
Mix about 35 to 40 percent of the prepared garlic liquid with clean water in a spray bottle, and gently spray it onto the leaves, paying special attention to the underside where bugs hide. Under normal circumstances, it can be used once every 10 days during the evening.
The solid garlic paste or residue left after straining does not need to be thrown away. It can be mixed directly into home-prepared compost or organic manure to utilize kitchen waste effectively.
