KEEPING pesky bugs away from your garden is easier said than done sometimes.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are products you can buy to help keep them out of your garden, but they're often pricey and not great for other wildlife.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

That's why Joe, who posts helpful tips and tricks on his Instagram @joesgarden.official, shared a simple hack you can use instead.<\/p>\n

You only need two ingredients plus some water and bugs will leave your plants alone.<\/p>\n

Joe explained: "obviously you can use bug sprays from the store, but often they will contain quite harsh and environmentally damaging chemicals. This mixture offers a completely natural alternative."<\/p>\n

Start by peeling a whole head of garlic, then pop them into a blender with a drop of dish soap and a splash of water.<\/p>\n

Blend everything together until there are no more large chunks of garlic.<\/p>\n

Then add the mixture to a large jar and fill it with more water to dilute.<\/p>\n

"Leave it stand for at least 12 hours so the garlic can infuse the water with powerful sulphur compounds and then strain through a cloth to remove any remaining chunks," Joe explained.<\/p>\n

You can then add the mixture to a spray bottle – if you don't have one you can reuse old cleaning bottles once they're empty, just give them a good clean first.<\/p>\n

Use the spray weekly on both sides of the leaves you want to protect and small pests and powdery mildew shouldn't be a problem.<\/p>\n

Joe added: "This remedy is great but I find it works as more of a deterrent than a fix if you already have an infestation.<\/p>\n

"That being said it has cleared up quite a few small aphid groups on my plants."<\/p>\n

After sharing his hack on Instagram other gardening fans chimed in to share their tips.<\/p>\n

One said: "An easier way is 500ml water, 500ml milk and about 15 drops of cinnamon essential oil<\/span>! Works a treat!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, others thanked the gardening whizz for the trick and promised to try it out.<\/p>\n

"Ooo didn\u2019t know this! My plum tree is quite literally carpeted with aphids, the underside of every leaf is covered with them, the branches are crawling with them," one commented.<\/p>\n

Another said: "Great tip! I didn\u2019t know garlic helped to treat powdery mildew.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019ll be trying this August when powdery mildew runs rampant in my area."<\/p>\n
