Good morning,

I am a big fan of vegetable gardening for lots of reasons,
only a few of which are environmental. But once you go from
a few potted pepper plants to a hundred or so square feet
of garden in your back yard you are going to have to start
dealing with pest control. And being health as well as en-
vironmentally conscious you might not want to soak your
vegetables and your soil with expensive poisons when there
are safer and even cheaper ways.

What are the alternatives? Scroll down for some brilliant
ideas.

Thanks for reading,

* Tobacco or Nicotine Spray. This mixture is great for
combating many different types of bugs, but especially
caterpillars, aphids, and many types of those nasty worms.
Just mix 1 cup of tobacco in 1 gallon of water and let sit
for 24 hours. The color should be the shade of weak tea.
Warning: Don't use this solution on peppers, tomatoes,
eggplants, or any other member of the solanaceous family.
Tobacco chemicals can kill these types of plants as well
as the pests!

* Soap Spray. Another way to stop the slugs is with soapy
water. That's right, you can just use your old, dirty dish-
water if you want to! Collect some of the water in a pan
and pour it into a watering can or even use a pitcher to
pour it over the plants. This works really well on hostas
and mums, but also can be used on other hardy plants. Many
bugs do not like their lunch spoiled by a soapy aftertaste!
For a stronger solution, mix 3 Tablespoons of liquid
detergent into a gallon of water. Use this weekly.

* Alcohol Spray. This spray really is great for houseplants.
This especially works on meal bugs. Mix 1/2 cup of alcohol
and 2-3 tablespoons of dry laundry soap in 1 quart of warm
water and spray immediately. You can't store this solution.
It must be made fresh for each use.

* Salt Spray. This solution is used for cabbageworms and
spider mites. Just mix 2 tablespoons of salt in 1 gallon of
water and spray!

* Spearmint-Hot Pepper-Horseradish Spray. This works on too
many different kinds of bugs to list! Mix 1/2 cup of red
peppers (hot), 1/2 cup of fresh spearmint, 1/2 cup horse-
radish (root and leaves) and 1/2 cup green onion tops in any
open container. Mix in enough water to cover. Once you have
your solution strain out the chunky bits, dilute with a half
to a whole gallon of water and add 2 tablespoons of liquid
detergent. You can use this to spray almost any plant safely.
Store this mixture for a few days in a cool environment.
