The caustic and bitter juice, which is contained in almost all parts of the dandelion, is extremely toxic to harmful insects.
This is the reason why you won't see pests on dandelions (except for the flowers).
Since dandelion juice can create unfavorable conditions for the settlement of pests, weaken harmful insects and even kill them, experienced gardeners use it to combat parasites on their plots.
Cold extraction is the most effective way to extract juice from dandelion stems.
Wash whole stems, cleared of soil, cut them into small pieces (or chop in a blender) and fill a three-liter jar halfway.
After this, fill the stems with cold water so that it completely covers the green mass or reaches the level of the neck of the jar.
Leave the dandelions in water for a day (maximum three days), and then strain the green mass through cheesecloth or a sieve.
Now you can pour the infusion into a spray bottle, add green or laundry soap to it for better adhesion and treat garden plants.
This natural preparation has a contact effect and significantly reduces the number of pests on plants.
You can use this solution to treat currants and gooseberries, cucumbers, young plums and apricots, potatoes and cabbage, as well as roses.
