What to mix vinegar with to make an excellent remedy for protecting potatoes from the Colorado potato beetle: an old secret
Unfortunately, when the Colorado potato beetle appears, many gardeners, summer residents and vegetable growers who grow potatoes face serious problems.
The voracious creature can sometimes destroy almost all the tops. Sadly, not all insecticides give the desired effect.
At the same time, since our grandfathers’ times there has been a folk method that has proven itself “excellent” without any unnecessary advertising.
We are talking about a homemade remedy based on the most common vinegar. It will drive out the beetle, and your potatoes will be saved.
So, we need to prepare the following mixture: add 100 ml of vinegar and 200 grams of mustard powder to 10 liters of water.
This volume is quite enough to treat at least a hundred square meters. However, it is better to spray on a day when there is no rain.
By the way, the product will also help protect your plants from aphids, cabbage whites, cruciferous flea beetles, slugs and other lovers of raiding garden plantings.
