Why do people put bricks on strawberry beds: an unusual trick
Many summer residents grow strawberries. But ants often attack the plantings.
Experienced gardeners who grow sweet berries in their beds year after year know that it is very easy and cost-effective to save the harvest from insect infestation.
There is no need to use chemical pest control products.
You only need to use one distraction.
You only need to take an ordinary brick (even its fragments will do).
As soon as the strawberries begin to ripen, the brick needs to be placed on the beds and watered with sugar syrup, which will need to be added periodically.
The secret is that such a remedy will distract the ants from the sweet berry.
In the end, they will choose the syrup and forget about planting.
The method is considered effective and safe. It is often chosen to combat ants when the berries are almost ripe.
