It is not necessary to stock up on chemicals; you can use a plant that many gardeners grow.

Many summer cottages are not equipped with a sewage system, so owners who visit occasionally install a toilet with a cesspool.

Sometimes even well-thought-out ventilation does not save from odors. Some summer residents fight them with the help of special chemicals.

Others rely on folk methods that work just as well. For example, many grow tomatoes in their gardens.

After harvesting, there are bushes left, which are dumped into a pile. There are many options for how to use them. You can make fertilizer, get ash, or even make an infusion against pests.
