organic bug spray

WHAT IS CATILE SOAP
OK I had the question today on what to use for keeping bugs out of an organtic garden. For the most part for me we had nature to help. For most of us we need a little help.
Castile soap is a soap made with fat of purely vegetable origin, rather than animal fats such as tallow. This type of soap has historically been highly prized and viewed as a high quality soap which is gentle on the skin and useful for a range of other applications.

Organic Castile Soap mixed with water in a spray bottle and spray plant leaves. It is organic so it is not harmful to the plant. Test it first on one leaf to make sure you didn't make it too strong. The oil from the soap keeps bugs away.

Thanks you Chiquita for the question.
