The only one I  know of is for White Fly deterrant on brassicas and that is just steep rhubarb leaves in water for a couple of weeks mix in a little soft soft to help adhere and spray.  I did try last year and it did help but need to use for another couple of seasons to prove efficacy!

Poppy Mole

I boil the leaves for 20 mins strain & add some washing up liquid, put it in a squirty bottle & spray on greenfly, lasts for whole season if you make enough.

That's the one Poppy Mole but I 'm sure I used soap flakes last year. Thank you.

You can just let the leaves rot down in water over a few weeks. The smell is appalling so keep the bucket well out of the way!
