    I was perusing the internet last night around 11:30 looking for a natural remedy for ants on my grape vines. I found your site and almost got out of bed to concoct the mixture repellent. I did wait and this morning I put the ingredients together. Garlic, hot sauce oil and water and couldn't wait to get those little buggers. As soon as it him them they started falling off the vines. I am so hooked. When I get home today I am going to make the mosquito repellent because they literally look like a science project gone awry.

    Thanks so much for this site. I love it.

I can just see you snickering as you mixed those ingreds together and then watched with delight as those little buggers got theirs. I to am looking forward to seeing your gardens and your corner of the world. ;)
