Another of my "natural remedies" for all things garden. This one is easy easy easy. Again, I found it on the internet and saved it for the summer garden.
Ingredients
-
·quinoa, uncooked
-
·water for rinsing
How to Make Natural Bug Repellent
- When you are rinsing the quinoa, save the rinse water. Pour it into a spray bottle and you have an organic liquid that repells insects. Use it on your vegetable plants.
- I wouldn't recommend using it on culinary herbs though as it could affect the taste. The coating of the quinoa, saponin, a resin-like substance is extremely bitter and forms a soapy solution in water.
