A common reason for low yields of garden crops is the appearance of pests in the garden.
To save the plants, the summer resident has to enter into a fight with uninvited “guests”.
The use of insecticides and other chemicals gives fairly quick results.
However, such products are not always safe for the plants themselves.
In order not to harm garden crops and at the same time protect them, it is better to use an alternative remedy.
We are talking about baking soda, which can easily deal with several pests.
Aphid
This insect can infect many vegetable and garden crops with dangerous diseases.
Fortunately, a product made from baking soda will protect plants from this common pest.
You need to dissolve one tablespoon of sodium bicarbonate in two liters of clean liquid.
If you spray vulnerable plants with drops of the prepared solution, the pest will cease to pose a danger.
Slugs
Gastropods often appear in cabbage beds.
However, simply sprinkling the plant with soda will be enough to stop the heads and leaves from attracting slugs.
However, you shouldn’t use a lot of sodium bicarbonate, otherwise the condition of the soil will deteriorate.
Ants
Baking soda also copes with ants. It is enough to sprinkle it on the ant nest, as well as on the areas where the insects often appear.
After a few days, the pests will leave the beds.
