Through creative experiments, experienced gardeners and vegetable growers have discovered that tomatoes really appreciate feeding with bay leaves.
It not only ensures the smooth development of tomatoes, but also protects them from pests.
Why is this so? Because, say experimenters, bay leaves contain formic and acetic acids.
For most pests, their smell is so "killer" that they prefer to stay away from the plants.
This way you can discourage ants, spider mites, aphids, Colorado potato beetles, caterpillars and butterflies from encroaching on your crops.
By the way, the solution will help not only tomatoes, but also a number of other plants, including cucumbers, strawberries, bell peppers, etc.
Plus, it is also good as a fertilizer, since it strengthens the immunity of flora representatives.
In addition, it prevents diseases, protects from dry weather, as well as from temperature “swings”.
The recipe is as follows: add 12-15 bay leaves to a 2-liter container with hot water. Cover with a lid and let it brew for 6-7 hours.
Just before use, strain and dilute with water (1 to 10). Next, perform foliar treatment.
