What plants do summer residents uproot in vain: the benefits of weeds
Those plants that appeared on the site without an invitation are usually called weeds.
As the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said, 90% of gardeners and vegetable growers strive to get rid of unwanted vegetation as quickly as possible.
However, plants that have always been considered the gardener’s worst enemies can actually serve him well.
Thus, some weeds do not harm cultivated plants, but, on the contrary, protect them from insect pests.
For example, wormwood can protect against mosquitoes, codling moths and gooseberry moths.
If you have tansy growing in your garden, use it to protect your clothes from moths.
With the right approach, dandelion can rid plantings of aphids that attack them.
Finally, with the help of yarrow you will say goodbye to thrips, spider mites and caterpillars forever. To do this, you will need to dry the plant, and then pour 0.5 liters of boiling water over 200 g of dry grass.
After an hour, strain the infusion and dilute it in a bucket of water. All that remains is to add 40 g of grated laundry soap. Mix well, and you can start spraying the beds.
