I've taken all last year's garlic that were too small and fiddly to cook with and just zizzed them all up.  Tried the hand held zizzer but the holes quickly got clogged up.    I then put the sludge in a bucket, added water and left it to 'envigorate'.   Later when I get round tuit!   I'll sieve it and spray.    I'de dilute it to about 20 - 1      Cheers,     Tony.

I haven't used garlic spray for carrots..but have used it many other crops.
I make mine by cutting whole bulbs half...putting several of them into bucket of water and letting it stew for couple weeks or until the water looks very 'unsavoury' and stinks.. ;D When the garlic is chopped into so large chunks, I don't need to sieve it but I take some with mug into sprayer and dilute it 'as I feel'..maybe abount a pint into 5 litre sprayer and filling rest with water...you can still smell the diluted concoction..
