Garlic to fight the plague???

[Skvez]

From personal experience I would say that garlic 'deters' mosquitos, it also deters people; including friends and family, that might be useful too in some circumstances!
It's also supposed to be relatively easy to grow and doesn't take up a whole load of room. It can even be grown indoors in a few flower pots.
(Personal experience of using it to deter mosquitos, no personal experience of growing it)
