Its Monsoon season , the favorable weather for the parturition and breeding of bugs . Where the monsoon season proves boon for the garden to bring back greenery, it surely proves to be a favorable weather for the outbreak of bugs and little critters.
While I was on my cleaning spree in my Garden after rains , I was took aback when my spider lilies and Rain lilies plants went vanished from pots . Monsoon is adjacent with flourishing rain lilies it was disheartening to see them disappear completely in their prime blooming season when the leaves were chewed by the moths.

However these moths don't reach till the bulbs but controlling their resurgence is necessary for the garden . The little creatures have capacity to vanish leaves from the plants in a single feed only.
I had made up my mind recently to use organic fertilizers and pesticides in my Garden after realizing the damaging impacts of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in Garden.
Garlic peels had proved as an effective insecticide and pesticide especially controlling the larva and moth growth on plants.
How to prepare Garlic Spray as an effective pesticide for Garden :
Garlic spray is one of the best effective organic pesticide that helps in controlling the growth of moths and bugs on leaves . The simple procedure to make a spray from Garlic peels or whole Garlic cloves is to soak them in water over night and then directly using the strained water to spray on the leaves of plants the next day . We can add a drop of organic liquid detergent with Garlic water spray to help to last upon the leaves.
