When you have a vegetable garden, pests are never far away!
Aphids, beetles, moths, worms, nematodes and caterpillars don't take vacations...
But don't bother buying insecticides that are as toxic to pests as they are to plants!
Luckily, there's a homemade, powerful, 2-minute repellent that all pests hate.
All you need is baking soda and olive oil. Look, it's simple and economical:
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 500ml of water
- watering can
- spray bottle
1. Fill the watering can with water.
2. Add olive oil and baking soda.
3. Mix well.
4. Water the soil around the plants with this treatment.
5. Then pour this mixture into the spray.
6. Spray on plant leaves.
And There you go ! Thanks to this homemade repellent, you can say goodbye to pests in your vegetable garden :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
And since it's totally natural, there's no risk for your organic fruits and vegetables!
Repeat the treatment as soon as you see the first signs of a pest attack:aphids, Colorado beetles, moths, worms, nematodes or caterpillars.
This treatment also works to eliminate mildew, powdery mildew, peach leaf curl, vine erinosis or linden gall.
Bicarbonate is a powerful fungicide that will overcome so-called "cryptogamic" diseases (mildew, peach leaf curl, powdery mildew) and fungi.
It makes it possible to clean up the contaminated soil and to overcome any eggs or larvae of pests.
Olive oil smothers pests, especially small insects like aphids.
That's why, it's useful when spraying because it comes into direct contact with those nasty critters.
