In addition to being able to make compost with your VitaMix, you can also make natural pesticide with your VitaMix!
Many vegetables contain substances which work as pest repellants, for example tomatoes and hot peppers.
Says Vita-Mix, “hot pepper sprays have been known to work especially well on leaf eating pests as well as root maggots, ants and soft-bodied insects.
