To make 4 gallons of a mixture that you would want to use 1/4 cup (2 oz) to 1 gallon of water. That's an important number as things progress.
1 lb. of organic rosemary branches and remove the individual leaves from the branches. This is an important step.
Take the rosemary leaves and put into a food processor with an equal amount of pure water and puree this mess. Add 2 each habanero chilis, 10 cloves of garlic (leave the skin on) and an equal amount of fresh ginger (very important component)
Once you have this mess pureed place into a 5-gallon paint bucket and fill with 4 gallons of water. Add pureed mint (however you get there) and try to get at least 3 cups of mint puree - go with diversity, IMHO
Add 1 tablespoon of live yogurt (read the label) and any/all of the following at 1/2 teaspoon:
Miso - organic
Vinegar - organic
Mesu - organic
Beer - organic
Kefir - organic
You'll also want to add a carbohydrate source - I prefer and use palm sugar as it's minimally processed. Easily sourced at Southeast Asian markets - especially Vietnamese and Thai markets.
You MUST use organic sources because conventional/transitional forms will always contain preservatives which will arrest this process.
Let this mess/mixture ferment down to < 3.5 pH - lower is even better. Once you hit your acidic numbers strain the plant material from the liquid and toss into your worm bin or compost pile.
With the liquid apply as a foliar spray using 2 oz. (i.e. 1/4 cup) to 1 gallon of water and hit it every 3 days until you have the mites arrested and killed. Follow up with weekly applications of either neem or karanja oil at the prescribed rates.
Result? End of mites, powdery mildew, aphids, white flies, gnats, et al.
