At first glance, a tube of toothpaste should only be kept in the bathroom. After all, this product is intended for cleaning teeth.

However, the paste can be used not only for hygiene procedures.

This product will come to the rescue more than once in a country house.

There are at least three reasons to take toothpaste with you to the country.

Soil deoxidation

Acidic soil is not suitable for growing all garden crops.

To improve the quality of the soil cover, it is not at all necessary to add dolomite flour or other similar means.

You can also reduce acidity with toothpaste. Squeeze the entire contents of the tube into a deep container and fill it with water.

The resulting solution should be used to water the soil. It is advisable to carry out the procedure in one of the spring months.

Toothpaste will not only make the soil less acidic, but will also become a source of microelements important for plants.

Saving plants from diseases

It turns out that toothpaste can cope with fungal diseases of plants. True, only in the early stages of the disease.

If it becomes clear that the garden crop is affected by fungus, measures must be taken as soon as possible.

All the paste in the tube should be put into a bucket filled with clean liquid. The latter should not be too hot. Nor too cold.

The result will be a solution that you need to pour over the plant. Most likely, the procedure will give a result. But you need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to use special preparations.

Hand cleaning

During gardening and vegetable gardening work, the summer resident's hands become covered with a thick layer of dirt, consisting of soil and plant juice.

Toothpaste will cope with such stains better than soap. Just apply the product to your palms and wait a few minutes. Then remove the remaining paste under running clean water. The skin will be clean.
