Want to find a safer and cheaper way to get rid of bugs and other common problems in your garden? Before heading out to buy the expensive chemicals, try heading to your kitchen for some at-home remedies.

Black holes on your leaves can be very frustrating. To solve this problem try using milk. It has been proven to help prevent black spot disease and mildew. Just mix one cup of milk with ten cups of water, and spray.

Garlic and peppers also make a natural insecticide. Just liquefy one garlic bulb and two hot peppers with a half cup of water. Strain out all of the solids and then add water to make a half-gallon of concentrate. use a quarter cup of concentrate per gallon and spray.

These remedies are not as effective as the chemicals, but they are safer for your children, pets and yard!
