Baking soda and ash, even separately, are good gardening products.

Thus, sodium bicarbonate can be used to deoxidize the soil.

Unburned wood residues are a good fertilizer, a source of potassium, phosphorus, calcium and other microelements useful for plants.

But if you mix ash with soda, you get an incredibly effective super-remedy.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how to use such a combination in a country plot.

How to use a mixture of ash and soda

First, you need to combine these two components correctly. So, the ratio should be equal: one part sodium bicarbonate - one part unburned wood residue.

The resulting powder should be lightly sprinkled on the beds.

As a result, garden crops will acquire excellent protection from slugs.

And if you also use such a component as crushed eggshells, then the risk of gastropods appearing in the garden will become almost zero.

Earlier, summer residents were told how to get rid of aphids without chemicals.
