organic pesticide

Mornin' All

Does anybody have a tried & tested recipe for an organic pesticide?
Ive heard that garlic & chilli powder stewed in water and then sprayed works.

Thanks

We can't really suggest or endorse anything home-made; please see this article:

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Nematodes are the best form of organic pest control. Not a chemical in sight and they target specific pests, not kill or harm every living thing they come into contact with which is what I imagine a chilli and garlic spray would do

Its always worth remembering that just because something is stamped "organic" doesnt make it harmless.
