Many summer residents grow vegetables in greenhouses and do not want to use chemicals in the greenhouse.
However, trying to defeat pests without special means, believes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, is unlikely to succeed.
In this regard, a life hack using beans may come in handy - this way you will be able to defeat the parasite in the form of whitefly, and not spoil the crops you grow with "chemicals".
We tell you what you need to do.
In fact, there is nothing complicated – all you need to do is plant a few bean bushes in that very greenhouse.
According to experienced gardeners, whiteflies prefer to “feast” on these plants, while completely ignoring cucumbers and tomatoes.
But, since our goal is not just to lure away the pest, but to exterminate it, we need to grow beans in a greenhouse not to harvest, but to treat them with chemicals.
As a result, using an improvised “trap” for whiteflies, you will be able to harvest healthy vegetables that are not damaged by pests until late autumn.
Earlier we talked about why gardeners so often use phosphate flour .
