Add to a spray bottle and spray over the plants.  The mix should look like green tea.  Because this mixture is still organic and just diluted it will rot.  The mixture has a shelf life of about 1month or so.  If not please leave a comment saying the day of which the Aloe Vera snail repellent expired

Please!
