Re: Re: CULT: Mosquito, grasshopper, deer etc. deterrents

Hi Margie-
       What a great article!!!  Thanks so much!.  Two yrs. ago I had a rot 
problem/not growing, in some iris; read about the Japanese coming up with the 
garlic drench.  I just happened to have GOBS of garlic (grown by large 
ranchers here).  The directions were to chop 1 C. of garlic to 1 Qt. of 
water.  
       It's a long story, but I ended up throwing the garlic in the blender & 
fill to top with water...had one heck of a mess all over the kitchen!  Then I 
called my friend Alice & invited her up for garlic milkshakes.  By the time I 
was done I had three 5Gal buckets full of the slury.  I was told to "strain 
it"....decided I wouldn't live that long....<g>
       Anyway, carefully poured some on each iris...the next day they were 
smilin' up at me - and got rid of the rot.  So....garlic DOES work!  
Conclusion:  for every Iris planted, one should also plant one garlic 
clove.....<sigh>
Len...in the OR High Desert where the `Furnace' is now on high.
