Many people love garlic. However, with its taste and aroma, this product perfectly complements various sauces and dishes.

Many also value it for its beneficial properties, which have a positive effect on the immune system.

But garlic helps maintain the health of not only humans, but also plants. Experienced gardeners put garlic in flower pots for this reason.

If you want your plants to be strong and beautiful, it is enough to water them twice a month with an infusion of 100 grams of garlic and 10 liters of water.

This solution should be infused for only 24 hours.

Before watering, you should take only one tablespoon of this product per three liters of clean water.

To do this, 200 g of the product should be crushed, poured with 500 ml of warm water and infused for six days. When watering, you need to take only one tablespoon per two liters of water.
