Any gardener knows that Colorado beetles pose a huge danger to potatoes.
Insects eat the plant's leaf blades. The result is often the death of the garden crop.
Fearing the loss of their potato harvest, many owners of country plots are entering the fight against this dangerous pest.
And often the efforts put in are in vain.
Sometimes both insecticides and folk remedies prove ineffective.
Fortunately, there is one powder that is highly likely to drive away the pest. In addition, the plant will receive important nutrients.
Natural remedy against Colorado beetles
The unburned remains of wood are thus a saving remedy.
Just sprinkle this ash on the potato bushes. At the same time, it is worth sprinkling the soil around the plant.
The procedure can hardly be called complicated. But it is quite effective!
Ash will "drive away" Colorado beetles. The fact is that these insects do not like ash and try not to appear on areas treated with ash.
Using unburned wood residues in a potato bed will have another positive effect: the plant will receive many important microelements.
Thus, garden crops are unlikely to encounter a shortage of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and many other components.
In other words, ash is doubly beneficial and maximizes the chances of getting a rich potato harvest.
Important point: it is advisable to sprinkle the plant and soil cover with ash in the morning hours. The fact is that during this period there will be dew on the leaf blades. And the presence of drops of water on the garden crop before the procedure is of great importance.
