How to get rid of aphids in the garden once and for all? 6 simple and effective recipes
Aphids decided that your garden or vegetable garden is a great place to live? She brazenly occupied not only fruit trees and vegetable beds, but also wildflowers? Well, then it's time to act carefully, but effectively, using natural insecticides, which may even grow on your site.
Good afternoon dear friends!
Of course, someone will say that they are not as effective as chemicals. Yes, perhaps it is! But chemistry, firstly, is not a cheap pleasure, and secondly, it is not safe for humans. For, penetrating into the soil, it gets into vegetables and fruits and, as a result, can cause poisoning. While natural repellents are not capable of all this.
And to prove to you the effectiveness of such "drugs", I have prepared a list of 6 plants, an infusion of which can drive aphids out of your garden once and for all.
1.Garlic. This is a cool repellent, as most insects don't like its smell. And in order for you to get rid of aphids in the garden, you need to do the following: insist 1 head of garlic in a ten-liter bucket of water for a day. Then add 100 g of black soap to the solution. Let it dissolve. And after that, you can safely process the plants affected by aphids.
If after such an event you still have the drug, then do not rush to pour it out. It keeps well for several more weeks in a dark place.
2.Sagebrush. Few people grow wormwood on their site, but in vain! For an infusion from it can help you in the fight against aphids, caterpillars or earthen fleas. To do this, you must first insist three kilograms of its leaves in a ten-liter bucket of water. And only then, after 12 days, it will be possible to start treating the plants with a garden spray.
Keep in mind that the mixture is effective for several weeks if stored in a cool and dark place.
3.Horsetail. If you have a horsetail in your garden, do not rush to get rid of it! It will also serve you in the fight against pests. It can be used to make an effective decoction against aphids, ticks, mold, scab, rust. So, to cook it, you will need to pick 250 g of horsetail, put it in a ten-liter bucket of water and leave it to settle there for 10 days.
However, if you do not want to wait so long, then you can hold the horsetail in water for a day, and then boil the infusion. It will turn out to be an equally effective remedy.
4.Tansy. Not a rare guest of our gardens and orchards, which, among other things, grows well in fields, on the edges, in birch forests and along roads. And, of course, you can buy it at any pharmacy, as it is a medicinal plant. And tansy is also an excellent insecticide, which helps to fight against aphids, mold and caterpillars.
You just need to prepare a simple infusion of 400 g of tansy (you can use all its parts: leaves, stem and flowers) and ten liters of water. To do this, put the tansy in water, leave it for a day, and then boil for about 15 minutes. Everything, when the broth cools down, you can use it in the garden.
5.A tomato. Did you know that ordinary tomato tops are also an excellent natural repellent? No! Then I hasten to surprise you - it is so. Therefore, when carrying out pinching, do not throw away healthy dangling leaves and stems, use them to make a "potion".
And to make it easy and simple. Pour one kilogram of tomato tops with ten liters of water, and after 3 days spray all the beds and trees on which the aphid has settled with the resulting infusion. Actually, that's it!
6.Black elderberry. An extremely fragrant plant that is the main ingredient in a decoction designed to repel harmful aphids, moths, weevils and fireflies. And in the house - against bedbugs.
So, for the preparation of an insecticide, you will need 1 kg of leaves and fruits. They will need to be filled with water (10 liters) and left for 3 days, after which the elderberry infusion will be ready.
