I was just wondering if there was anything organic or an old home remedie to spray for pests on my lettuce because i am highly alergic to pesticides.
Thankyou your help will be appreciated.
Yes. Mix a light solution of dish-soap with water to spray on the lettuce. About 1tsp in a quart of water. Just make sure you rinse the lettuce before you eat it.
1 gallon of water, table spoon of hot sauce, one half smoke cigar, teaspoon of joy dish washing liquid . mix put the lid on and pour into a spray bottle and wash the plant with it. Its an old remedy but it works.

It depends on what pests you're needing to kill.
UC Davis Cooperative Extension has great info.

Every county has a cooperative extension and most have websites so you can glean great info from the web.

the cleanest thing that i use is worm tea which is the liquid saved from the bottom of a worm farm , it needs to be watered down to at least to 50/50 or more (water)
