Hello Friends!
I am sure, all of us have a container of baking
soda in kitchen.
In Today’s short episode we will show you
the formula to prepare the most powerful and
100% organic pesticide by mixing baking soda
and other stuff to treat almost every pest
in your garden.
Coming up..
Well, Let’s Go 100% Organic! and prepare
our most powerful pesticide and fungicide
solution to treat almost all types of pests
in your garden like the aphids, mealybugs,
thrips, mites, whiteflies, worms, caterpillars,
soil fungus, plant fungus like powdery mildew,
black spot rose disease, leaf rust, leaf miners
and what not.
You can try this on almost any pest on your
affected plant.
Please stop using chemical pesticides and
even chemical fertilizers and go 100% organic!
Now let’s Prepare our most potent pesticide
solution.
We just use two or three powerful ingredients
in this pesticide recipe.
The First one is of course Baking Soda.
Mind you its Baking soda and not baking powder.
You should know the difference between baking
soda and baking powder.
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate.
It should not be confused with either baking
powder or even washing soda.
Washing soda is sodium carbonate and baking
powder contains only 30% baking soda along
with other ingredients.
Some think baking soda is a chemical.
No, It comes from earth and 100% organic.
In fact, Baking Soda is registered by the
Environmental Protection Agency as a bio-pesticide
in United States.
So its 100% organic and natural.
In one of my previous episodes last year,
we have discussed the miracles of baking soda
in your garden like using it as a stand alone
pesticide and fungicide, cleaning garden tools
and pots, for flowers and lot more.
You can check that video from a link in description
below.
Now, Let’s see how to prepare this pesticide
formula.
The second component you need is Neem oil.
Do not worry if you do not have neem oil,
you can use any vegetable oil like sunflower
oil and stuff like that.
But this recipe is most potent if used with
neem oil.
You can also use other oils like clove oil
or even eucalyptus oil but be careful not
to make it too strong to kill our beneficial
insects and pollinators like our honey bees
and butterflies.
Now let’s jump into the making:
Step 1: Take 1 litre of water in a container
or in a spray bottle or a spray can.
This formula is for 1 litre, if you need larger
volumes you can alter the formula as per your
need.
Step 2: Add 2 Teaspoons of Baking Soda to
water.
If you feel the pest and fungus attack is
too extensive, you can add 3 teaspoons.
Step 3: Add 1 teaspoon of Neem oil to this.
If you do not have neem oil, you can add vegetable
oil or any other oil as already discussed.
But Neem Oil is the best!
Step 4: To mix oil and water thoroughly, you
can add some 10 drops of eco-friendly liquid
soap into this.
There are many organic liquid dish wash or
hand wash soaps available in the market.
Step 5: This is very important.
Make sure you mix and stir it thoroughly and
then load in to you spray bottle and again
give it a good shake before spraying.
Before you spray on your entire plant, please
perform a patch test on a leaf and leave it
for an hour or two to see the potency.
If the leaf wilts, you will need to dilute
it further.
