On March 17, 2012 we held a workshop at Kahumana farm, led by Lloyd Nelson. Mr. Nelson shared his thoughts on natural farming, gave us a farm tour, and demonstrated some natural recipes that he uses on the farm. Here's a recipe that one of our staff members uses on her plants:
Red Pepper Spray Concentrate:
Used For: General Insecticide and caterpillars

Preparation: Chop onion and garlic and combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer 20 minutes. Blend in blender. Strain and store in jars in the refrigerator for 6 weeks
