This folk remedy has been tested by more than one generation of gardeners.

No gardener will be happy to see hordes of pests destroying cabbage leaves.

Gardeners try to get rid of caterpillars and slugs as quickly as possible. But it is not always desirable to use chemicals, because they can then end up on the table along with the harvest.

A folk remedy made from garlic and onion peel will save you from caterpillars and slugs.

To prepare the infusion, take 1 kg of garlic feathers or 10 heads of the vegetable. You will also need 2-3 kg of onion peel.

If you use garlic heads, you need to crush them so that the vegetable releases juice. It is also better to chop the feathers. The ingredients are placed in a bucket and filled with 10 liters of hot water.

The remedy is infused for exactly 24 hours. Then the liquid is filtered and the cabbage is sprayed in the evening.

Repeated treatment is carried out once every 7-10 days or after rain. Otherwise, the pests may return and finish what they started. It is important to remember that this remedy is not prepared for future use, but used immediately.
