With the arrival of spring, gardeners and vegetable growers closely monitor the flowering of dandelions, which most people call a weed.

And only experienced gardeners know that as long as dandelions grow on the plot, they can easily cope with many plant diseases.

Therefore, it would be correct to call dandelion not a weed, but a natural remedy for fighting diseases and insect pests.

For example, dandelion infusion is especially popular in summer cottage circles, not for internal use, but for treating vegetation.

A natural remedy helps stop the invasion of aphids and spider mites.

Cabbage beds, cucumbers and zucchini are treated in this way, and cherries, currants and roses in the garden.

How to prepare an infusion

For this you will need dandelions, pulled out by the roots. They are crushed in any convenient way.

Fill a suitable container ¼ full with the green mass. Fill the rest with warm water.

The infusion will be ready in three hours. It is filtered and used for spraying.
