I was out working on the garden today and thought I would share a recipe I use to keep the critters away from my plants. A lot of you probably have something similar so please add on.. Simple critter B gone Tea 1 large jug of water A handful or so of dried or semi dry marigold flowers. 1 cup Juice/Oil from minced garlic Place marigolds and garlic oil in jug. Fill with warm water and let sit in the sun for a week or so. Once it is Rip (You will know when) it can be cut down and added to a pump sprayer but make sure you screen out any solids or it will clog your sprayer. Spray on veggies, fruit and flower plants. Deer, rabbits etc hate both marigolds and garlic and will keep off in addition the Marigold will help repel a lot of the bugs you don't want around as well. It is simple, cheap and very effective. Halt spraying a week out of harvest to avoid the repellent taste carrying into the kitchen "State a moral case to a ploughman & a professor. The former will decide it as well, & often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules."
