Summarize the following:
Use your fingers to peel off the outer layer of skin from the head of garlic. Break up the individual cloves and transfer them to a large metal mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with another metal bowl of the same size. Hold the two bowls together and shake them vigorously for 10 seconds. Remove the top bowl and pick out the peeled garlic cloves. You can also use a large mason jar with a lid if you don't have two metal mixing bowls of the same size. Transfer the peeled garlic cloves to a blender. Add 1 cup (235 ml) of the water and secure the lid on the blender. Puree the mixture until the garlic is finely chopped, about a minute. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor or immersion blender. Otherwise, chop or mince the garlic with a knife or garlic press and stir it together with the water. Puree the mixture for an additional minute or so, until the garlic has been liquified. The soap will help the mixture stick to the foliage in the garden, but it also acts as a pesticide in its own right. You can use any liquid soap you like, such as dish or castile soap. Transfer the pureed mixture to a clean mason jar and screw on the lid. Leave the mixture on the counter for at least 12 hours, and up to 24. The longer the mixture steeps, the more time the garlic will have to infuse the water with pungent sulfur compounds. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and position the strainer over a bowl. Pour the mixture into the strainer to remove the chunks of garlic. Give the cheesecloth a gentle squeeze to remove as much of the liquid as possible. Straining the mixture will prevent the garlic from clogging the nozzle on your spray bottle. Insert a funnel into the mouth of a clean spray bottle. Pour the garlic liquid into the spray bottle. Remove the funnel and screw on the lid. Use as necessary to control pests and fungi in the garden. Store the mixture in the refrigerator and use within a week.
Peel the garlic. Process the garlic in a blender. Add the remaining water and soap to the blender. Steep the mixture overnight. Strain the mixture. Transfer the mixture to a spray bottle.
