Then put these chopped garlic buds in a container and soak them up in two (2) tablespoons of mineral oil for one (1) day. After doing so, dissolve one (1) teaspoon of fish emulsion in a pint of water and add it into your garlic bud-mineral oil solution. After this, you have to stir the concoction, making sure that the ingredients are well mixed. Strain the mixture after stirring and store it in a glass container; you are strongly advised not to store them in metal containers. /the next step would be to dilute one part of the mixture to every 20 parts of water (1:20).
