No slugs, no caterpillars: how advanced gardeners treat growing cabbage
Caterpillars and slugs are voracious pests that can quickly spoil vegetables. Such fruits can no longer be used as food.
Therefore, as soon as parasites are noticed on the site, measures must be taken to combat them. However, you should not immediately run for chemicals.
Traditional methods that are safe for soil, vegetables and humans can also help.
For example, you can take soda ash.
Just 3 tablespoons need to be dissolved in a bucket of water, add 20 grams of shavings of laundry soap and everything is ready. The solution needs to be sprayed on the leaves.
Slugs cannot stand the pungent taste, which means you can make a solution of ground red pepper, dry mustard and a spoonful of salt.
All this should be diluted in a liter of water. It is better to let the infusion stand for a while before using and strain it.
A solution made only from water and dry mustard will do.
Pests won't like ammonia.
You need to take 40 ml of ammonia per bucket of water and carry out foliar treatment of cabbage .
