    Nice tips!
    Limonene is almost insoluble in water, but dissolves readily in ethanol. It's bettter to put the peels in alcohol, leave them there for a few days, like they do when they make limoncello, and then add 2 or 3 spoonfuls of this solution per litre of water and make an emulsion to spray your plants.

    For a home made outdoor garden bug repellent, mix equal parts of cayenne, onion and garlic powders.... Put the mix in a tea strainer (or ball it up in cheesecloth), and just make a tea of it all in hot water. Let it steep for a good while, then let it get to room temperature, put the tea in a spray bottle and go to town..... This also makes a great homemade mace spray if you're on a budget (proven by myself in the Southside of Chicago one insane f*cking night) 😁👍

    I live in a subtropical area, I have planted peppers, when they were just emerging, from one day to another, the leaves were gone! The culprit, ants ( those that can carry leaves bigger than themselves). Since I have cinnamon trees, I cut the leaves onto small pieces and scattered them around my baby pepper plants, so far, those ants didn't touch them again.

    Thanks also for distinguishing between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon. I'm a bit of an herbalist and the negligence on that part is a pet peeve. They're two different plants, with Cassia being a common skin irritant if used cosmetically.
    On pots with multiple holes, coffee filters or scraps from coconut fiber basket liners works great also.
    And fish tank water works very well too, if you'd rather save the vegetable broth for cooking with.

    I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere in your vids, but to get rid of fungus gnats you can keep springtails.
    I have them in all of my pots and animal enclosures and it seems that they outcompete the gnats. They only decompose dead organic matter and are not dangerous to plants. They also need wet environment to survive, so no need to worry about any outbreaks.

Other than a sansevieria whose will to live has been stronger than 20+ years of neglect , it's only been in the last year or so (COVID) that I've managed to keep any other plants alive.

    By pure and true cinnamon, do you mean the pictured ceylon cinnamon instead of the common cassia cinnamon (which has poisonous coumarin and tastes stronger) or does it refer to a different thing? I suppose ceylon cinnamon is often branded as true cinnamon in the stores? Cooking the orange peels is also very practical, gonna try that as well. And I believe coffee grounds can also work as pest deterrent while acting as fertilizer at the same time? I think you've mentioned it on some video as well.

      I have a greater value grounded cinnamon and ingredients just mention cinnamon nothing else. Also I have a smidge soon Kroger brand and it only says the same thing ingredients cinnamon that's it. I have noticed that the greater value brand of cinnamon smells more stronger than the Kroger Brand I didn't even know there was a difference😅 thanks for the advice

    Is there any point to compost the peels after boiling them? Or are these few the fallen ?
