Garlic Powder

[KathJ]

On 'The Queens Garden' which was on over Christmas the gardeners used garlic powder to keep aphids at bay on their roses. Has anyone tried this and does it work? Where can you get garlic powder from and how much do you dilute? I guess is available as a food in supermarkets, is this the same thing? Thanks

Not powder, but this video shows how to make a liquid garlic spray:

I have some garlic spray for plants that I bought in the sales last year, I didn't get
round to using it. There was very little information on it, I thought it was for plant
health, but I shall try using it on the beans & my Zephrin Druin rose this year &
see if it keeps the aphids away.

Thanks Breezy, that looks easy enough. I'll definately givei it a go
