Every gardener and vegetable grower has their own secrets, which sometimes seem a little strange, but in reality are extremely useful.
For example, you may have noticed how some summer residents hang yellow ribbons in their gardens.
Today you will get the answer to the question of why they do this.
It turns out that such a simple action is needed in order to attract ladybugs to your site, and this, in turn, is necessary if you want to defeat the aphids that have covered the plantings in your garden.
This method, which involves attracting beneficial insects to the garden, including, by the way, not only ladybugs, but also beetles, lacewings, wasps and others, is one of the effective, but at the same time cheap ones.
In addition, the category of budget methods of combating aphids includes planting plants that can repel the pest.
Such plants include mint, catnip, dill, lavender planted between leeks and carrots, and others.
For example, if you want to protect roses from aphids, plant thyme, garlic and green onions between the flowers.
