Everything You Need for Plant Health is Right at Your Fingertipssubmitted on 26 November 2019
Cayenne pepper, coffee, and seven more "secret" products that are useful to you in the country house.
Everything you need for plant health is right at your fingertips.
Baking soda
With its help, you can clean almost any, even the most difficult pollution, and in the garden, it will be very useful for you - especially if you are fond of growing flowers. Sprinkle soda over the soil around geranium, rudbeckia, daylily, and clematis, and the plants will respond to your care with exuberant flowering.
Soda increases the pH of the soil, making it alkaline. And this is exactly what these flowers need.
By the way, the fungus does not develop in "live" an alkaline environment. Dissolve a teaspoon of the powder in a liter of water and apply the liquid to the leaves of plants - for example, tomatoes and lilies.
Cayenne pepper
Squirrels are the sweetest creatures ... until they start digging up garden daffodils and tulips and eating their bulbs. To ward off rodents, sprinkle cayenne pepper around the flowers. Add powder as needed.
Vinegar
Vinegar will help you get rid of the green coating that appears on the garden tiles and brick walls of the house after rain. Apply concentrated vinegar to the dirt with a spray bottle, wait about half an hour and clean off the sticky coating.
By the way, vinegar is also useful for you if you grow azaleas, rhododendrons, and gardenias. These flowers adore acid soil. It is enough to water the plants with an acidified solution (1 cup of table vinegar in 4 liters of water) so that the bushes grow stronger and become covered with buds. Find more info here.
Vegetable oil
Vegetable oil will protect the metal from corrosion. Apply the product on garden tools, as well as on the blades of a lawnmower, so that next time, it will be easier to clean it from dust, dirt, and grass.
Ground coffee
Earthworms are the best friends of your summer house. These creatures make the soil fertile and healthier. You can attract worms to the cottage using ground coffee.
But keep in mind: fresh coffee increases the acidity of the soil.
Bananas
The peel of bananas will come in handy if tomatoes, rose bushes, and bell peppers grow at your summer house. Bananas are a rich source of potassium and phosphorus, which these plants need. Finely chop the peel and bury it into the ground to enrich the soil with useful minerals.
