Experienced gardeners always try to find simple but high-quality methods for protecting vegetables from pests.
You don’t always want to use industrial preparations, because cabbage can accumulate them.
As a result, the product may be harmful to health. However, there are several effective natural remedies that can adequately cope with their task, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What do these techniques consist of?
The simplest and most reliable method is ash
As a rule, many simple methods are incredibly effective and useful. A striking example is ash. It will not only help to give the cabbage the necessary nutrition, but also protect it from many insects.
However, it is worth remembering that this is only a preventive measure. If the pests have already "taken an interest" in the vegetable, then the method will be of little use.
You will simply need to use ash to dust both the vegetable itself and the soil. For greater effectiveness, you can enhance the composition of the product with tobacco dust.
Against caterpillars and fleas
This method will also meet your expectations, protecting your plantings from common pests. However, you need to work a little to prepare the composition.
You will need to take half a glass of tobacco dust per liter of hot water, stir the product and wait 72 hours. Then simply treat the plants.
