Garlic & Chilli spray for caterpillars, whitefly & aphids

[Urban]

Tried this on that infested lupin, not sure if I used too much chilli but about 20 mins after I used it the aphids looked as though I'd used a flamethrower on them lol, is pretty potent stuff you have to make sure you don't spray it on any beneficial insects, or they'll get killed aswell

Also I got some horsetail tea bags and I use one in my chilli/garlic mixture, so It makes it a nice spray for pest and mildew in one go, it seems to be working so far, I think garlic also as an anti fungal action aswell as the horsetail

I've also been using it to protect plants from slugs/snails, by spraying it around them, it seems to work till it rains

Just made this, hope it works as the aphids seem to adore my peppers

Could you use Ecover washing up liquid rather than soft soap?

I have no pennies but I have some of the above.

I have just put a drop of fairy liquid in my sprayer, my plants seem ok, and it seems to be working so far

So for the necro but I just wondered if the recipe calls for 4 ounces of garlic and 4 ounces of chillies or a 4 ounces of mixed garlic and chilli?

Do you think this dressing will help confuse carrot root fly?
