Aphids are one of the most dangerous inhabitants of our garden, and you need to be prepared for their appearance.
If you delay even a few days, the problem could become global.
You shouldn't immediately resort to chemicals, as they have side effects, warns landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What methods are worth trying?
Soda with soap
This is a very common way to combat aphids. The remedy has no contraindications and works great. You will need to separate a quarter from a bar of laundry soap, grate it and dissolve it in hot water.
We introduce the soap mixture into a liter of water. We add just one spoon of soda ash and start spraying the plants.
Wood ash
This is also a good method, which is destructive for aphids and completely safe for plants. You just need to take 200 grams of the main component in half a bucket of water.
It is worth waiting for 12 hours for the product to infuse. Then we filter the composition a little and start spraying.
Tomato tops
This is a wonderful and safe method that many people have already liked. You will need to take tomato tops, place them in a saucepan with five liters of water and put them on the stove.
As soon as the boiling process begins, turn off the heat. Then wait 12 hours. After filtering, the product is ready for use.
