The appearance of wireworms on a plot is a real headache for any summer resident.
However, this parasite is capable of depriving potato and other vegetable crops of their harvest.
Therefore, gardeners try to find means that can protect against pests.
There is no need to use chemicals. Natural remedies will cope with the problem perfectly.
Mustard powder and ash will do the job perfectly. Pour this mixture into the holes when planting potatoes. This will help get rid of the larvae.
If there are too many pests in the beds, the powder can be scattered over the area, and only then can you start planting vegetables.
In autumn, when it is time to start digging up the fruits, it is necessary to prepare mustard and phacelia. These green manures have a great effect on the soil condition. Closer to winter, the plants should be mown down, and the green mass should be left in the beds until next year.
In addition, closer to winter, you need to check the acidity level. If the level is elevated, then you need to add dolomite flour to the soil.
