Is there a general homemade mixture concoction for spraying almost any plant to combat garden pests?
Yes, have a problem w/’something’ eating leaves of roses, zinnia’s, bell pepper plants in my garden.
Someone had said water, soap n oil mixture works for roses, is this effective for the other plants as well?
Well I think you are getting beetles. that eat holes in leaves.
That is hard to control organically, because beetles stay under the ground were it is cool all day and come out as dusk to feed. That means that your home made spray is dried up and there is no residuals effect for the home made stuff.
So when the beetles come out at night there is nothing to stop them from eating.
My suggestion is to go on line to a University local to your home. Most of the Universities have some kind of Horticultural program and can guide you in the right direction about what type of beetles you have and how to kill their grubs while the grubs live in the lawn,and before they pupate into beetles that destroy your crops!
If you had said any word other than EATING I would have said soap and water is fine, EATING HOLES changes the picture drastically
