Many people use chemical preparations to increase yields and control pests, forgetting that not so long ago, before the industrial preparations appeared on the market, our grandparents solved garden problems with the help of well-known natural products.
Garlic
Wanting to get a larger crop of potatoes, it must be placed in a water infusion of garlic for 9 hours. He prepares simply. For 10 liters of water you need 1 kilogram of chopped or crushed garlic.
Garlic solution will not only protect the tubers from harmful insects, but will also give an impetus to the rapid growth and ripening of potatoes. The potato yield from such a procedure will increase by at least one third.
Garlic is an excellent fighter against the disease of many plant species by late blight, the danger of which is that it can move from one bush to another. Late blight affects not only eggplants, tomatoes and peppers, but also apples and strawberries with raspberries.
You should not wait for its first signs, the disease is easier to prevent than to cure later. For the prevention of the disease, 50 grams of crushed garlic is needed for a bucket of water. This solution is sprayed on the leaves of garden crops.
Kefir
In order to prevent late blight, garlic water can be replaced with fermented sour milk or kefir in the ratio: 10 liters of water - 1 liter of fermented milk product.
Many garden crops can be fed with kefir or whey. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, a large set of trace elements that are necessary to improve fruiting, formation and development of the fetus.
After fermented milk feeding, plants need abundant watering. Top dressing or spraying of leaves should be done at dawn or in the evening, when the sun sets and its bright rays cannot burn the leaf plates. Cucumbers adore sour feeding most of all. Undiluted fermented milk product can burn the plant.
Salt
He loves feeding beets with brine. A solution is prepared at the rate of: for 10 liters of water - 50 grams of rock salt. Fertilize the ground near the root crop by stepping back from the root system by 10 centimeters. By the time of feeding, at least 8 true leaves should be formed in the beets. This will add sweetness to the beets and stimulate their growth.
Salt will also help the ripening of tomatoes. Sprinkled with a solution of concentrated salt in a ratio of 100 grams of salt per 1 liter of water, the leaves fall off, directing all the strength of the plant to the maturity of the tomatoes.
Sugar
Sugar viscous syrup with a pinch of dry yeast attracts an insect pest to the bear, which, getting into a sticky substance, cannot get out of it.
Sugar also enriches the soil with nutrients. To do this, before watering, you need to crush the earth with granulated sugar. For better absorption of nutrients from the soil, such feeding is carried out once a week.
You don't have to use chemicals to harvest good crops.
