9 uses of baking soda in the garden

 

Baking soda is the classic pantry staple in any home, a great household multipurpose . But, did you know that it can also help you in your garden or garden?

Uses of baking soda in the garden.

We review all the uses of bicarbonate for orchard and garden that we have compiled:

1. Keep pests away. Sprinkle baking soda on the soil with a flour sieve to keep ants, roaches, and slugs out of your garden. (Be sure to avoid plants!) It's a surefire way to keep beneficial insects around and say goodbye to the ones you're tired of seeing.
2. Eliminate the crab grass. Crabgrass can take over your lawn and continue to grow from spring through fall. Did you know that you have a defense for this enemy in your pantry? First, wet the crabgrass area with a watering can. Next, sprinkle the area with baking soda. Make sure to avoid the surrounding grass. In a few days, this herb will be history.
3. Prevent fungal diseases . Nothing can be more frustrating on a beautiful plant than whitish or leaf spots. Try this natural remedy. DO IT: Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 2-3 drops of liquid soap in 1 liter of water. Spray the solution on the infected plants. Baking soda helps plants become less acidic and prevents fungal growth.
4. Kill the weeds . Clean the tiles in your garden. Just pour baking soda into the crevices where weeds appear. The baking soda alone should kill any weeds and prevent new ones from sprouting again.
5. Sweeten the tomatoes . There's nothing better than sinking your teeth into a sweet, juicy tomato straight from the garden. Baking soda can make them taste even better. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the soil around your tomato plants to reduce acidity levels. (The lower the acidity level, the sweeter the tomatoes will be). You just have to make sure that the bicarbonate does not reach the plant.
6. Clean the birdbaths . Clean dirt and stains from your birdbath with a damp cloth and baking soda. Afterward, simply rinse with cold water to ensure a safe and clean bath for your flying friends.
7. Refresh the compost. Is the compost pile started to frighten the neighbors? Sprinkle baking soda around your compost pile (or in the bin) to eliminate the smell.
8. Keep cut flowers fresh . Fill a vase with water and then mix in a teaspoon of baking soda. Your freshly cut flowers will thank you.
9. Clean dirty hands . Baking soda is perfect for cleaning dirty hands from the garden or garden without the toxic chemicals found in other cleaning solutions. Pour baking soda into the palms of your hands, add a little water, scrub, and rinse.
