This week's Teenie Weenie Greenie™ comes from Gorgeously Green by Sophie Uliano. It's a recipe for a homemade natural insecticide for your garden. Fill a reusable spray bottle with tap water and 1/2 cup of liquid castille soap (like Dr. Bronners). Shake it up and spray in your garden to repel aphids and other nasty bugs. For a stronger solution, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and let it sit for 1 hour before spraying.
