Edible garden chatter

[Mum2twoBoys]

I have a recipe for homemade insecticide. It involves pureeing 10 cloves of garlic and 3 tsp of vegetable oil. Strain into a 1L jar. Add 3 cups of hot water and a tsp of dishwashing liquid. Spray infested plants, making sure to cover both sides of leaves. Apply every 3 days for a week. Then repeat as required.

i missed this one the other day - just shared with DH - we ahve some of last seasons garlic still out the back so we might make up some of this in the near future

does anyone have any natural remedies for rust on fruit tree leaves? will go google now, but wondered if there were any tried and tested ones.
may have to buy some UHT milk to use on the roses too (not that they are really edible, but it's all tangled up with trying to keep the garden as natural as possible) - milk and water spray helps with powdery mildew...
