Garlic
Powder Is
The Surprising Secret Weapon Your Garden Plants Need
By PEG ALOI
The strong scent of garlic can be a powerful deterrent in the garden to prevent pests like rabbits and squirrels from munching
on salad before you can.
Toxic sprays can harm beneficial insects like pollinators, but eco-friendly garlic powder repels mosquitoes, ants, beetles, caterpillars, flies, cutworms, slugs, and mites.
Sprinkle garlic powder around your flower or veggie beds, or make a spray using garlic powder, water, and dish soap. Be sure to re-apply after heavy rainstorms.
Garlic powder is more effective as a preventive measure against insect reproduction and a deterrent before a problem arises
in your garden than as a treatment for an infestation.
