Angel You can also use, CDN Thistle, Stinging nettle rhubarb, Tansy, Onion, Galic and horseradish. You can also use a dead bug tea ( I love this one ~Martha) I cup of dead bugs, squashed and marinated and strained to make one gal. Personal Comment: By the time you have enough dead bugs to make enough for a 50x50 garden, you won't have any bugs to spray. BUT none of the above work on root bugs like cutworm, wireworm or termites. Byron LB CCL
