Due to the inaction of the summer resident, a huge part of the harvest can simply be destroyed.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to 3 effective methods.
What methods are worth remembering?
Aromatic plants
Some crops are able to protect your plantings from slugs solely with the help of their aroma, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
These include calendula, sage, parsley, garlic and thyme. Plants can be combined.
Attract slug eaters
The main enemies of pests are toads and frogs. In order for them to feel comfortable on your site, it is worth making at least a small pond yourself.
Lizards will also not refuse slugs. For them, it is enough to place a few stones on the site.
Something hot or prickly
Slugs have very delicate skin that is not protected by anything. This disadvantage of the "enemy" should be used. Paths are sprinkled with mustard or pepper.
Pine needles, gravel, and eggshells are also used.
