However, they can be easily overcome by “arming yourself” with ordinary mustard powder, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, agronomist and landscape designer.

Against slugs

If you do not protect your crops from slugs in any way, they will quickly destroy them. Despite the fact that the pest does not look large, it absorbs food extremely quickly.
