Aphids appear on plants in the spring and are spread around the garden mainly by ants, who like the sweet syrup of insects.
Hot weather encourages the growth of these pests, and chemicals have to be used to protect plants from their invasion.
But chemicals are not always beneficial for the soil and plants, and in this case, natural remedies that can be prepared at home come to the rescue.
It is useful to use yarrow against aphids.
Add a pack of yarrow to 500 ml of boiling water and let it brew for at least 30-40 minutes.
Dilute the prepared infusion in 10 liters of water and leave it for 3-4 days so that the solution is ready for treating plants.
First, add 20-30 g of liquid laundry soap to part of the watering solution, then you can treat the bushes affected by aphids.
Inconspicuous plants often become irreplaceable helpers not only in the garden, but also for health.
Yarrow herb is an antioxidant, among its beneficial properties are anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, bactericidal and wound-healing.
