Did you try sprinkling ground pepper on the soil?

I have used this technique also to deal with pests with some OK results, however, I was a little concerned that the pepper and the garlic would increase the chance of bacteria or mould forming in the soil or even on the plants. Any thoughts?

That is a question best answered at Overgrow. Go to www.overgrow.com go to the FAQ, and look up soil.
