Going to a gardening store for a means to exterminate any plant disease or a universal assistant, a summer resident may get confused.
A variety of packages, chemicals and liquids promise a quick solution to any problems.
But what should a gardener do who cannot afford to buy individual products for each crop, or he simply has little experience in this matter?
The answer lies in the court as a garden remedy for all ills.
Fight against lateblight
Ordinary soda is an effective assistant in the process of extermination of late blight that has spread on tomatoes. At the same time, it can be used as a prophylactic and therapeutic agent on affected tomatoes.
A soda solution prepared from 10 liters of water and 50 g of soda must be sprayed on the bushes. It is recommended to repeat the procedure once a week until the problem is completely eliminated. Additionally, this technique can make the fruits sweeter.
Prolonging the fruiting of cucumbers
Rapidly yellowing cucumber whips can be saved from early death if you use ordinary baking soda. This will allow the cucumbers to ripen, increasing the yield. You need to mix 25 g of soda in a bucket of water and water the bushes, after spilling them with clean water to protect the root system.
For each plant, you need to drink half a liter of liquid. For fast fruit ripening, the procedure should be started after the first harvest and the soda solution should be applied 4 more times a day.
Extermination of the wireworm
Potato plantation is another place to use soda. Sodium successfully fights wireworm. If there is such a problem, experienced summer residents recommend adding 1 tsp of soda to the potato well when planting.
However, the recipe for getting rid is not fast. Getting rid of the wireworm as a whole is a difficult task. Repeattheprocedure for 2-3 years.
Destruction of aphids
One of the most famous pests in the garden. Aphids can appear on any crop and slowly destroy an entire crop. Sodium bicarbonate helps in this case. It should be diluted in a bucket of water in an amount of 50 g and sprayed with damaged branches.
The procedure is recommended to be carried out in the evening, when the sun leaves the horizon. So the solution will last longer on plants and will show its qualities better.
Prolonging the life of cut flowers
Many summer residents want to keep cut bouquets of flowers in a vase for as long as possible. There are a lot of life hacks for this, and soda is among them. For 2 liters of water, you need 15 g of soda. The resulting solution must be thoroughly stirred and put your favorite flowers in it.
Soil deoxidizer
Acidic soil is not the most desirable base for plants. Therefore, many summer residents are looking for ways to rectify the situation, which will allow them to grow more crops and get a bountiful harvest. To achieve a more neutral pH level, you can gradually add table soda.
For the procedure, it is quite enough to add a quarter of a teaspoon of powder to the wells for seedlings. And this method also becomes a prevention of protecting the root system from clay formations.
Weed eradication
The method is acceptable to use both in large areas and on paths made of tiles, in the seams of which weeds germinate. Chaotically growing, they spoil the view of the garden, make the summer resident live longer and more often, turning being in the garden into a continuous routine work.
You can destroy the hated useless plants with 2 packs of soda dissolved in 15 liters of water. This concentrated solution should be poured over areas with weeds, which will successfully dry up in 3-5 days.
Soda can make an invaluable contribution to garden life. It is a good way to combat all kinds of pests and at the same time saves finances.
