A mere trifle will allow you to get rid of annoying garden pests – carrot and onion flies.
If you sprinkle the beds with mustard cake, you can forget about parasites until the end of the season. At least, that's what summer residents say.
How to use
1. You need to act in the spring or fall, during the preparation of the beds. Mustard cake is added to the soil during digging.
2. Another, and simpler option, is to use cake during sowing. Cake is poured into planting furrows or holes at the rate of 2 teaspoons per 1 linear meter.
What does cake give?
The additive is considered environmentally friendly.
In addition, the material contains fatty acids and essential oils. By the way, gardeners equate 1 liter of cake to 10 kg of humus.
It is also an excellent mulch that can be mixed with ash or used together with Fitosporin.
Precautions
Do not apply more than indicated in the instructions. Overdosing is fraught with negative consequences for the soil and plants.
The cake should not be poured on top of the leaves, as it can cause burns.
The supplement should be stored in a dry and ventilated area, in the dark and at a constant temperature.
