The mustard is good when used in the country

Neighborhood with slugs, not only gives the owner of psychological discomfort site. They are happy to feed our landings:

• strawberries and strawberry;
• radish leaves, often destroying the whole plant;
• salad;
• peas, beans and other legumes;

On the Internet I found a tip: mix the mustard powder with ash and hot pepper (black or red) in equal parts. Slugs, in contact with the mixture, experience terrible discomfort and creep away in a panic. As quickly as can be :)

When the "invasion" it is time to take up chemistry. But by butterflies, spider mites, midges and beetles mustard powder acts without other means.

The recipe for preventing and repelling aphids:

• Stir in a bucket of water volume 10 l 100 g dry mustard powder.
• Steep 2 days, in water to release the active substance.

Spray the bushes from a spray every 10 days. Just need 2-3 treatments.
