I buy 4-5 bulbs of garlic. Doesn't matter the size, they tend to end up with the same overall strength. Then I get 5 or 6 Habenero peppers. Remove stems. Peel the bulk of the 'paper' off the garlic. Then, just toss teh lot into a blender with say a pint and a half of distilled water. Puree the heck out of it for a few minutes. I usually take a clean 1 gallon container, then useing a strainer and funnel I pour the mix into that. once the liquid is all in the 1 gal container, I add distilled water, letting it steep through the solids in the strainer, until the gallon container is full.
Sounds like a lot, but it's like $5 for the galic and peppers, a buck for the distilled water, and the result is a gallon of concentrate you can use to spray anything and using it all over my yard it lasts me a year. If you have a pint sized bottle sprayer, add 2-3 tbsp of the concentrate and fill the rest with water. If you have big job outside, It's about a half cup to a gallon of water.
