Boiling 5 cloves of garlic in a pan offers a surprising solution to a common problem. It’s not just about culinary applications; garlic’s powerful aroma has a broader purpose. By boiling these cloves with some readily available ingredients, you can create a simple yet effective natural disinfectant for plants, especially useful for those with balconies or green gardens. Here’s how:
We start by taking a head of garlic and extracting 5 cloves. Place these cloves, as well as their skin, in a saucepan filled with about 350 ml of water. Add two cinnamon sticks to the mixture. Boil the water, then turn off the heat and let the solution cool.
