Oily Garden Repellent
1/4 cup garlic
2 teaspoons mineral oil
2 cups water
1 ounce oil-based soap (Palmolive works well)
Combine garlic and 1/4 c. of water in a blender until smooth. Strain (a nylon sock works well), and scrape into a mason jar. Add remaining ingredients. Cap and shake well.
To use: spritz blend on foliage, as well as roots in the early morning hours when it’s a bit cooler outside. Wait 12 hours before watering.
Melissa "Liss" Burnell started Budget101.com in 2001 because she needed it to exist — not because she saw a market opportunity. She was feeding a family of four on under $200 a month, and people kept asking how, so she started writing everything down.
That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.
