Even unpretentious plants encounter pests or diseases, and sometimes they simply do not have enough nutrition for normal fruiting.

Every experienced gardener has a kind of garden first aid kit, which always includes these preparations. With them, it is easier to protect plantings in the garden and vegetable garden from pests and diseases.

Bordeaux mixture

This remedy will defeat fungal diseases. Bordeaux mixture is especially relevant in the spring, when many gardeners treat trees after winter hibernation, but before budding.
