So quick and easy to put together....using ingredients that I always have on hand. I have been trying to reduce the amount of chemicals used in and around my home- this recipe fits the bill perfectly. -
Well this is easy to make up, and with things I have on hand!<br/>It certainly does keep something away, but not sure what!!! ....lol.<br/>Something was eating the vegie leaves, I used this spray and there was a great improvement with the leaves on my brocolli.<br/>I think it was slugs having a feast on my vegies and this spray seemed to work well on them.<br/>Whatever they were.... this spray seemed to work at keeping whatever away. I will continue to use this and over spring/ summer, it will be then that I will find out if it works on snails or not, for sure!<br/>Chemical free and so inexpensive, that alone works for me! <br/>Thanks Mandy.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
