How much garlic, hot peppr and sage is used (per 6 gallons of water?) to make up your solution?
And am I under standing correctly -- your spray mixture is 1 part 'tea' to 1 part H

I buy the herbs in large containers from a restaurant supply so they are inexpensive then make a concentrated tea in 6 gallon batches and store it until needed in 2 liter bottles. The concentrated tea makes 12 gallons of spray.
You can harvest the same day you spray.
I use 1 tablespoon of molasses per gallon of spray as a sticker, so it takes a heavy rain to wash it off.
The only down side to it is squash vines and their fruit grow so fast, new growth and fruit has to be sprayed twice a week to keep them protected. Claud
