Rodents, which include not only mice and rats, but also moles and other underground inhabitants, have one feature - they react to smells.
Knowing this weakness, you can easily and without much expense protect your plot and property from uninvited guests. It is enough to plant black root on the plot.
It is worth noting here that although this grass is useful, it can pose some threat to human health. At the end of the season, it will need to be collected, dried and laid out in the attic or in the basement.
The most successful way of planting is around the perimeter of the garden. In the garden, grass can be planted under trees.
The seeds are simply sown in open ground in the fall. They can also be grown for seedlings, but at the beginning of spring, summer residents have enough to do without paying attention to herbs.
The grass is collected and dried after the first year. It is tied into bundles and laid out in places where rodents appear.
Most often, dry bouquets are left in attics, basements, cellars and sheds, especially if it is necessary to protect stored vegetables and fruits.
By the way, black root can be sown near hives or used to cover them for the winter to prevent rodents from getting into them.
Another way to protect the area is to water the soil with blackroot infusion, and by covering the seedlings with this herb for the winter, you can protect them from hares.
