How to Get Rid of Aphids and Slugs with Nettle: A Village Secret
Nettle is a popular weed that spreads quickly but is also very stinging.
But if it has already appeared on the site, then you should not rush to get rid of it.
Still, the plant is considered quite useful.
And we're not just talking about making infusions based on the weed.
The fact is that young plants can become an excellent trap for aphids. Parasites readily attack plants, which means that you can manage to prevent the spread of insects if you mow the infected grass in time and burn it.
The benefits don't end there.
At the same time, nettles are an excellent “cradle” for ladybugs, which help fight aphids and other harmful insects.
And finally, nettles are great for dealing with slugs.
It is enough to just put a few branches on the beds with cabbage or pepper. As a result, the plants will become a barrier for pests.
