How to Protect Cabbage from Pests: This Edible Plant Will Protect Your Plantings from Cabbage Whites
Insect pests cause a lot of trouble for summer residents, because they can cause serious damage to plantings in a matter of days.
There are many special means for fighting uninvited “guests”, but there are also folk methods against most of them.
Thrifty summer residents are used to combining budget with practicality. These are the words that can be used to describe their method of protecting plantings from insects.
To keep pests away from the garden, they use dill. The smell of the plant repels insects. For the trick to work, dill must be planted in the right places.
For example, agronomists advise planting the plant next to cabbage. In this case, the cabbage white butterfly will not covet the bed and its caterpillars will not be there.
Dill repels some insects, but attracts others - useful ones. For example, the lacewing. The insect larvae destroy aphids.
To ensure that dill brings maximum benefit, it is better to plant it little by little, but throughout the entire garden.
