Experienced gardeners and vegetable growers often sprinkle salt on the onion bed in June.
Why, you ask? To drive out the pests, we answer. And, interestingly, the little pests really do disappear, and your harvest is no longer a threat.
Professionals say: sprinkle salt on the rows of onions from above the plants - 1 handful per 3 meters.
However, do not overdo it: excess salt can harm plants. Experts advise using it twice a season.
This is quite enough for the salt to get into the soil and drive out the pests that eat the onion tubers.
And one more important point: the next day after treating the beds with salt, the soil should be sprinkled with ash.
