If you notice powderey white or gray spots on the leaves and stems of your plants, or on the soil surrounding your plants, you're most likely dealing with a fungus such as mildew or leaf spot. Fungus is unsightly and can weaken healthy plants, but you can successfully treat your plants with homemade garlic fungicide.
Things You'll Need
2 tbsp. mineral oil
6 tbsp. finely minced garlic
Glass jar with lid
1 tsp. fish emulsion
2 cups water
1 tbsp. liquid castile soap
Sprayer
1 large head of garlic
Blender or food processor
3 cups water
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
4 habanero or jalapeno peppers
1 whole lemon
Strainer
Cheesecloth or muslin fabric
Garlic and Mineral Oil Fungicide
Mix the mineral oil with the finely minced garlic in a glass jar, and let the mixture steep for at least 24 hours.
Strain the mixture and discard the garlic. Pour the garlic oil back into the glass jar.
Stir the fish emulsion and 2 cups of water into the strained garlic oil, and then add the liquid castile soap.
Pour the fish emulsion mixture slowly into the garlic oil, stirring as you pour.
Mix 2 tbsp. of the fungicide with 1 pint of water and put it in a sprayer to treat affected plants. Garlic and mineral oil fungicide will keep for several months if you store it in a sealed glass jar.
Garlic and Pepper Fungicide
Place one large head of garlic in a blender or food processor.
Add the water, vegetable oil, habanero or jalapeno peppers and whole lemon, and blend until the ingredients are finely chopped.
Let the mixture sit overnight, and then pour it through a strainer lined with cheesecloth or muslin fabric.
Mix 4 tbsp. of garlic and pepper fungicide with a gallon of water to spray on affected plants.
Store any unused garlic and pepper fungicide in the refrigerator.
Tips & Warnings
Garlic and pepper fungicide will also kill insects, so use with care around any beneficial insects.
