Aphids have been making life difficult for summer residents for many decades, but methods of combating them are changing.
Garden stores are full of remedies against this pest. But not all summer residents are in a hurry to buy, because it is an expense. And over time, aphids still appear.
Expert of the online publication "TUT NOVOSTI", agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told about a folk remedy that many summer residents use to this day.
Wormwood is an excellent remedy against aphids. It can outperform a number of advertised chemicals in terms of effectiveness.
Method of preparation
Pick some wormwood, pour boiling water over it in a ratio of 1:10, for example, 1 kg of grass per 10 liters of water. Then let it brew.
Spray the plants affected by aphids with the resulting solution. By the way, infusions of garlic shoots, onion peel, nettle, and tomato tops also help fight this pest.
You don't have to prepare an infusion. Sometimes it's enough to hang wormwood branches on the affected plants.
The amazing properties of wormwood allow you to fight not only aphids. It is effective against fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches, and also repels codling moths.
Earlier, “TUT NOVOSTI” talked about ways to use onion peels in the garden and vegetable garden.
