OceanSolution™                                                                        Anna Marleen Shepherd

Liquid Fertilizer

November 3, 2024 

0.125 (1/8) Teaspoon of OceanSolution™ mixed in 4 Liters of fresh Water is the established ratio to fertilize plants using a watering can, once every 15 days.  The plant/s need not be untouched with the (water mixture) watering, because the plants and soil will "die" shortly in a few days, weeks or months if watered untouched via directly to the soil surrounding the plant/s which the plant/s roots are present in.  It is not a hypertonic solution, such as in hydroponics.  Hypertonic Solution: A hypertonic solution is one which has a higher solute concentration than another solution.  An example of a hypertonic solution is the interior of a red blood cell compared with the solute concentration of fresh water.

So, OceanSolution™ applied diluted as such to bare soil is life giving to the soil (only.)

Slug Repellent, Organic:               Anna Marleen Shepherd                 November 3, 2024

Slug repellent, organic.   Use it once every 10 days.  On dry plants, or with rain.  Water later.  Also, use on newly sown seeds.

Slug Repellent, Organic recipe:

2 Teaspoon of organic Cayenne Powder 30,000 IU

1 1/2 Tablespoon of organic Garlic Powder (or Seaweed Powder?*) (or Coffee Powder?*)

1 1/2 Tablespoon of organic Sunflower Oil (or Neem Oil?*)

1 Tablespoon of organic Ecover Zero (or Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds?*), Biodegradable

           Dish Liquid Soap

8 Drops of Rosemary Essential Oil or one essential oil of your choice from: Pine;

   Orange; Garlic; Cedarwood; Hyssop 

Add 4 Liters of fresh cold Water

Mix

Use a Tiny Watering Can Above Plants or Newly Sown Seeds 

This slug repellent, organic, is to repel garden slug pests that you are sure are already present in your garden, even though you may not see them right away.  Slugs are an important part of a forest ecosystem.

Do not breath, drink or consume this!  

 

 

Wash harvests to partake of food.  A few drops of Rice Vinegar can be used in the water that washes to help clean especially from slugs.  Wash three times, using the rice vinegar once.  A salad spinner can help dry. 

 

To help store a harvest in a refrigerator crisper drawer:  dampen with cold water two paper towels and place them in a plastic food storage bag, insert a clean mostly dry harvest portion, then add two more cold damp paper towels on top of the harvest in the bag, close the bag, then store. 

 

 

*  I have not tried these, yet.  (Seaweed can be harvested fresh (wildcrafted) to use around a plant to prevent slugs and help fertilize it.) 

​[For a garden area over lumbered unfinished wood that has not had a natural treatment yet, or in a pinch, (organic) Sluggo® can be used instead (disperse it lightly, per two weeks at a time, it may become moldy.)  Amazon.com : Monterey Sluggo - Organic Gardening Slug Bait & Killer, Wildlife and Pet Friendly, 40 Pounds : Patio, Lawn & Garden]

Plants to Keep to Prevent or Help Eliminate Pests, Ants, Bedbugs, Spiders, Mice, and Insects:

1.  Lavender

Spiders and Ants loath the smell of Lavender.

Place Tied Bouquets near strategic areas of your home.

Or plant them in sunlit areas of your garden to keep the area pest free.

2.  Peppermint  (Water and Peppermint)  (Peppermint Oil)

Mice and Bugs/Insects don’t like the smell of Mint.

Apply a Small Quantity of Peppermint Oil to areas where Insects and Mice might reach, for example furniture, clothes, and even your skin.

You can also place Cotton [Wads] soaked in a Few Drops of Peppermint Oil in the corner of your room or other strategic areas.

3.  Rosemary  (Water and Rosemary)  (Boil Fresh Rosemary in Water, let it sit overnight, then add to a Spray Bottle)

Insect and Bedbug Repellent.

4.  Bay Leaves

A Natural Insect Repellent when you sprinkle Dried Bay Leaves around your house; the

Advantage is there are no toxins involved and they are safe (to be used in homes that have pets and children present).

5.  Thyme Oil  (The Essential Oil of Thyme)

90% protection rate against Mosquito and Insect Bites.

And in case of camping, putting Some Amount of Fresh Thyme in a camp fire can provide protection for up to 2 Hours.

6.  Basil

You can purchase an insect repellant or spray using Fresh Basil, so that your summer fun is not disturbed by pesky Insects.

A homemade insect repellent calls for a small quantity of Vodka which is used as a carrier; mix Some Vodka with a Liquid Obtained from The Basil and shake gently.

The Mixture can be sprayed on the skin or clothes to repel those Insects that trouble you.

7.  Eucalyptus

Mice cannot withstand strong odors, this makes Eucalyptus Oil a good oil to keep them away.

Put Eucalyptus Oil near mice droppings, or use Eucalyptus Oil in a diffuser.

8.  Catnip

There are essential oils in Catnip plants which have the ability to repel Termites and Bedbugs.

Catnip growing, is repulsive to Termites, Ants, and Mosquitoes.  The plant contains

Nepetalactone, a Terpene that has proven to be effective at fending off Insects.

9.  Lemongrass

Citronella is found in Lemongrass, as natural oil.  It has the ability to keep Ants, Spiders, and other Insects away.  Whether you’re attempting to keep away those pesky

Chironomidae insects, or blood sucking Mosquitoes, Citronella Oil can help you keep those bugs at bay.

Baking Soda Organic Pesticide: Anna Marleen Shepherd                           May 26, 2021

Baking Soda Organic Pesticide:

Baking Soda

Neem Oil, or Vegetable Oil like Sunflower Oil (Neem Oil is most potent), or can use other oil like Eucalyptus Oil or Clove Oil (be careful not to make it too strong so that it won’t kill beneficial pollinators like honey bees or butterflies)

Biodegradable Liquid Soap

2 Teaspoons of Baking Soda (or 3 Teaspoons if the pest attack is too extensive)

1 Teaspoon of Neem Oil

10 Drops of Biodegradable Liquid Soap

1 Liter of Water (if the leaf wilts, dilute further)

Can use a spray bottle (above plants).

This would be best for indoor plants.
