Yesterday I made a new batch of my special herbal insect spray for the greenhouse. There is scientific evidence for the insect repelling properties of each plant in the mix. The latest research on plant-insect interactions indicates that a “bouquet” of secondary metabolites (plant chemicals produced for purposes other than growth and reproduction) is more effective in warding off pests. 

The herbs include thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), huacatay (Tagetes minuta), Geranium (Pelargonium × hortorum), Shungiku (Glebionis coronaria), and catmint (Nepeta mussini). The herbs are crushed and placed in corn oil so the essential oils will diffuse out of the plant tissue and into the oil. The mixture is kept in the air cupboard for a couple of weeks before the oil is transferred to another jar. 

This infused oil is mixed with water and detergent and then sprayed on plants to kill and deter aphids. So far I have noticed a decrease in the aphid numbers on the greenhouse plants.
