Charlie,
Do you have to be careful about when you apply a solution with the fish in it? I recall someone telling me that I need apply it late in the day, so as to avoid burning by the fish emulsion.

Hi,
I have used garlic concentrate on plants for 20 yrs., this is what I notice. Garlic Barrier gallons 100:1 and a more concentrated garlic that is carried by Neptunes Harvest have worked the best for me. You need to start early and I have found the best way to do it
is to mix the garlic with hydrolized fish or fish/seaweed. Use thes mixes every 2 weeks. I use a 200:1 mix and 2ozs. fish/seaweed
mix. You need to continue all season and there is no taste of garlic. By doing this you repel the bugs and break up their breeding cycle.
I have one set of gardens we have done for many years and there is very little bug problem, but these plants have very high sugar
content. We have expanded a 1/4 mile down the road with 2 acres now and we have a bug problem, but our sugars are not as high.
Potatoe & cucumber beetles have been the hardest to repel.
Garlic takes a few hours to be absorb in the plant but mixing it with fish or fish/seaweed it is absorbed in a very short time ( some studies say 30 min.) so it will last depending on rain after it is used.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone share experience with using liquid garlic concentrate
(diluted with water) to chase asparagus beetles and other crop
injurious bugs from asparagus and other vegetables? The product
description says that use of liquid garlic concentrate does not
impart any garlic taste to treated veggies and lasts for about 10 days
of protection. Thank you for any experience/advice that you can
share? Tom
