Keeping off Whiteflies.

I've finally resort to this after efforts of keeping Gardening Pests at bay proved fruitless.

Especially difficult were these small flying Whiteflies that loves to hoard the underside of the Chili leaves; sucking it dry - slowly killing the plants.

What reading and researching never teach you, is the use of orange or lemon peels. Yes, and it is effective! Best of all, the ingredients are earth friendly and natural without the need of toxic chemicals.


Citrus Spray Recipe (http://tipnut.com/natural-pesticides/)
2 cups orange peels (or lemons)
4 cups water
- Bring water to a boil, remove from heat and add peels. Cover and steep until cool. Strain and use.
