Cabbage can be susceptible to attack by many pests, so the crop needs high-quality protection from uninvited guests.
Some people use commercial chemicals that leave insects no chance.
But it is worth understanding that in some cases some of the harmful substances will remain in the soil and can enter the body. In order to protect yourself from such a scenario, it is worth paying attention to more natural means.
How can you treat cabbage to protect it from pests?
It is necessary to prepare a special solution that will not only protect the vegetable from insects, but also will not pose a threat to the soil or our health, says landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
Pour about one hundred and fifty grams of chalk into an incomplete bucket of water (about nine liters) and add two spoons of ammonia (concentration no more than 10%).
All that remains is to water the cabbage.
This same product can also be used to protect onion beds from pests.
