I researched how to make homemade natural pesticide for the fruit trees. I’m going to try to keep the bugs off the trees, but to keep the fruit as natural as possible. These are all the ingredients:
I mixed 1.5 gallons of water with 2 cups of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon oil, and a half a cup of Meyers dish soap. Then you boil water separately and add one and a half cups of cayenne / chili pepper, about a cup of garlic, and some chopped habanero and jalapeño peppers then shut off the water and let it steep over night. I added the hot mixture to the entire mixture in the big pot… brought that up to almost a boil and let it sit overnight last night to cool down. I’ll strain it through a cheese cloth today and that’s it, spray it on the trees. I’ll have to keep applying it as the rain will wash it mostly off and I’m not sure if it will really work, but I definitely wouldn’t want to eat it! :)
