Use potassium permanganate
Not everyone knows that this remedy can be effective in combating wireworms. You will first need to prepare a special solution. To do this, dilute five grams of the remedy in a bucket of water.
After that we dig a hole and pour two glasses of the product into each hole. After that we can start planting.
Needles
This wonderful natural remedy will help drive wireworms away from the plot. Place the potato planting material itself into the holes. Then use humus with ash.
Then it is worth laying out a layer of pine needles.

This action will help to at least significantly reduce the number of pests. It is recommended to dig up the garden twice.
The first time we do the procedure is in late autumn. We repeat it in early spring.
