Garlic is more than just a kitchen staple; it’s a link to our rich cultural heritage. Every clove used in our kitchens continues a tradition of flavor and ingenuity. But the benefits of garlic extend beyond food, particularly in the garden.

How to Make a Garlic Peel Spray Turning garlic peels into a powerful protective spray for your garden is easier than you think. Here’s a simple guide: Step 1: Gather the Ingredients Start by collecting peels from four cloves of garlic. The more peels you have, the better, as they’re rich in essential oils and compounds that benefit plant health.


Step 2: Prepare the Infusion Place the garlic peels in a pot and add 1 quart of water. This ratio creates a strong infusion, effective against a wide range of plant pathogens.


Step 3: Boil and Simmer Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This process extracts the powerful compounds from the garlic peels.
Step 4: Cool and Strain Allow the mixture to cool. Strain it to ensure only the liquid is used, which will prevent clogs when applying it with a spray bottle.
Step 5: Transfer to a Spray Bottle Pour the strained liquid into a spray bottle. This makes applications easy and efficient.
