Default Recipes for all-natural insect spray

I found this awesome PDF (attached) of recipes for all-natural insect sprays that you can make yourself and thought I would share it with you.

Also, the book Carrots Love Tomatoes has a garlic-oil recipe with fish emulsion in it: "Take 3-4 ounces of chopped garlic bulbs and soak in 2 tablespoons of mineral oil for a day. Add one pint of water in which one teaspoon of fish emulsion has been dissolved. Stir well. Strain the liquid and store in a glass or china container, as it reacts with metals. Dilute this, starting with 1-part to 20-parts of water, and use as a spray against your worst insect pests. She says that garlic sprays are also good for controlling late blight.

(revised for recipe with fish emulsion)
