Aphids and slugs can be safely included in the list of the most "difficult to remove" pests: they appear suddenly and, in the absence of "resistance" from the gardener, they multiply very quickly.
Since their "appetites" can also be called exorbitant, the harvest is at risk.
Few people know that a well-known and popular soda can help defeat these pests, reminded the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
The secret of cola's effectiveness is simple: it contains acids that are dangerous to pests but harmless to the plants themselves.
How to use cola in the country
To deal with aphids
The recipe for this remedy is very simple: you just need to take a large bottle of cola (two liters) and stir it in seven liters of water.
After that we begin treating the plants attacked by aphids.
If there are too many aphids, then the amount of water is reduced, but the volume of soda remains the same.
Slug Repellent
These pests can also be dealt with using soda. The method is certainly not the most pleasant, but it is quite effective.
You need to take several bowls and pour the drink into them.
Afterwards we dig in the "surprises" next to the beds of the most vulnerable plants. You will only need to periodically remove the dead pests.
Previously we talked about how you can use salt as fertilizer .
