How to defeat the potato moth
Garlic
This method is a very good protection against any pests, so it is definitely worth trying. It is necessary to pick garlic shoots. In total, we should get four hundred grams.
Then we chop them with a knife and put them in a large jar (3 liters). Pour in water and wait for seven days.
After that, we take literally 60 ml of concentrate per bucket of water. All that remains is to add a little laundry soap and spray.
The procedure should be repeated every week and a half.
Sagebrush
You need to boil a kilogram of wormwood in three liters of water for 15 minutes. After that, the product is filtered and cooled.
Then you can safely spray.
