Many people know that it is not always possible to grow a rich cabbage harvest.

Sometimes the vegetable itself does not “want” to form heads of cabbage, and sometimes the reason lies in the activity of pests.

Therefore, you should always keep in mind the means that will be useful in a given situation. For example, not all summer residents know that two powders that are actively used in cooking will help increase the cabbage harvest.

We are talking about classic mustard and baking soda.

How to use them correctly when growing cabbage?

It is worth noting that soda is a completely safe product for both the plant itself and the soil. The same can be said about mustard.

Therefore, they can be used without any doubts.

How are they useful? As it turned out, both powders will drive away pests from cabbage beds. Slugs and other pests do not like either soda or mustard. Therefore, the cabbage will be under reliable protection.

It is best to use soda for dusting the vegetable. But mustard should be sprinkled between the rows, and also used to establish the perimeter of the bed.
