What are the benefits of pine cones for the garden: how to use valuable forest material
While walking through a pine forest, you can not only improve your health, but also find valuable materials for your garden.
Folk remedies are sometimes no better than store-bought ones in caring for plantings.
We are talking about pine cones. With their help, you can solve the problem that plagues many summer residents.
Pine cones will help protect plants from slugs. To do this, they need to be laid out around a bush, tree or along the perimeter of a garden bed. The optimal layer height is 5 cm.
The cones will become a real obstacle for slugs. The sharp smell and sharp scales will not please the pests, who will stop visiting the garden.
In addition, cones reduce the likelihood of fungal diseases. The effect can be enhanced with pine needles, but it is important to consider that the acidity of the soil will increase.
It is not recommended to use spruce cones in this case. They can attract ants. It will turn out that the slugs will stop bothering, but you will have to get rid of another scourge. Therefore, only pine cones are used.
