Baking soda is famous for its versatility.
Where is this product not used? Sodium bicarbonate can be useful when cooking, cleaning the house, and during gardening.
Let us dwell on the last point in more detail.
Yes, soda is an excellent gardening and vegetable gardening product. It just needs to be used correctly.
Careful and correct use of soda is a guarantee of improving the condition of plants and increasing yields.
But incorrect use of the product will certainly lead to tragic consequences.
What plants need soda
This product will have a positive effect on flora representatives that are susceptible to such a disease as powdery mildew.
If traces of this disease appear on plants, then you need to urgently prepare a soda solution.
This is done very simply: in a bucket filled with plain water, you need to pour baking soda (2 tablespoons). You can also use another type of soda - calcined. But then one tablespoon will be enough.
In the same container you need to pour 50 grams of grated laundry soap.
The result will be a solution that should be used to treat the following crops (if signs of powdery mildew have become visible on them):
- cucumbers;
- zucchini;
- gooseberry.
Sodium bicarbonate can also be used as an ingredient in copper-based fertilizers.
But you shouldn’t use soda to deoxidize the soil or protect plants from gastropods.
