White cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, red and other varieties... They need different agricultural techniques, but are often attacked by the same pests.

But you can admire the cabbage at my neighbor's, so good, just a decoration of the garden! I am curious, could not resist, asked, what is the secret - how was she not spoiled by the ubiquitous slugs this season? And a neighbor told me a secret, that is, a way to save cabbage beds, using ordinary toothpaste!

In addition to slugs, it also helps with other major cabbage pests:

· Caterpillars of a white-tailed butterfly - green to black speck, up to 4 cm in length, covered with hairs;

· Caterpillars of cabbage moths are monochromatic green, therefore they are well camouflaged on vegetables;

· Cabbage flea beetles - no more than 2 mm, brown, greenish or black;

· Caterpillars of moths - gray, green or brown with dark stripes, up to 1 cm in length.

The paste must be taken with a classic composition, that is, with a menthol additive.

To prepare the solution, for 1 bucket of water, that is, approximately 10 liters, 3-4 tablespoons of paste are required.

For maximum effectiveness, the solution must stand warm under a lid for several hours.

If you do not want to waste toothpaste, which will still come in handy in the country yourself, but there are empty tubes from under earlier used, you can take them - for 1 bucket of water you need 10-15 pieces, you need to fill the packages with warm water and leave like that for a couple of hours.

To distribute the composition over the cabbage, I am used to using a spray bottle, but in the absence of one, you can do with an ordinary broom, dipping it into a bucket.

The main thing is to distribute the aqueous solution of the paste evenly, trying not to let anything through the surface of the treated plants.

The best time for this is late evening. Because the scorching rays of the sun can burn the leaves of cabbage through drops of water, and such damage, although small, but seriously harms the culture - it lowers its immunity, pushes it towards disease.

The toothpaste adheres perfectly to the surface of the cabbage, so there is no point in adding anything to it for stickiness.

And then, if the first appetizing harvest is removed soon after processing, it remains only to rinse the cabbage with running water - and you can eat or harvest with pleasure.
