Get one of those sugar shakers they every diner used to have (Dollar Tree usually has them). Mix equal parts of cheap garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and hot pepper powder. Sprinkle it around the perimeter of the garden and between rows. If it rains, put it down again. Fortunately, all of the ingredients are inexpensive and it goes a long way. Cheap hot sauce is also good, but don't use it too close to the plants or you'll lower the soil pH.
