I use a 16 quart Stainless Steel stock pot and a 24 quart enameled canner, because that's what I have.

I put 3 gallons of hot water in each pot and add 1/2 cup of powdered garlic, 1/2 cup of powdered red pepper, and 1/2 cup of powdered (not rubbed) sage to each pot.

Stir and bring to a boil, then allow to boil for 15 minutes. Allow to cool overnight, then strain. I use old stockings and 1 gallon pickle jars for this.

After it is strained, I store it in 2 liter drink bottles because they don't break rolling around in my truck bed.

It will keep without refrigeration for a year.

To use add it to your sprayer along with an equal amount of water.

The strainings can be spread around the base of your plants. Claud
