Pepper is the most popular spice in the world, but we are used to using the spice exclusively in the kitchen.

Not all summer residents know that this seasoning can be used in some cases on the plot.

What tricks are important to know?

Protecting trees and shrubs from animals

If animals visit your site and harm trees by eating their bark, you can protect your garden in a simple and safe way.

To do this, the plants need to be sprayed with a very simple solution. For each liter of water, take one gram of hot pepper. Landscape designer and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", warns that this method cannot be used often. Once a year will be enough.

Against ants

If there are a lot of ants in the country house, then it is worth fighting the pests. If you do not take the necessary measures in time, then the insect population will increase.

Therefore, it is worth combining black pepper with flour and using the resulting mixture to treat the paths along which ants walk.

You can also use pure black pepper around the perimeter of the plot to prevent pests from getting into the garden.
