Annonce:
Not only does cornmeal keep weeds at bay, but sprinkling it around your plants helps if you have an ant infestation. The ants try to eat the granules, but they cannot digest it and slowly starve.
7. Forks
Stick forks in the garden soil prong side up to keep animals from munching on your plants.
8. DIY insect spray
Pulse 2 whole garlic heads with 3 cups of mint in a food processor. Add to a pot containing 12 cups of water and 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool overnight. Strain to remove particles and put into spray bottles, adding a squirt of dish detergent to act as a surfactant. Spray on affected leaves to kill insects.
9. Irish spring soap
Peter Cottontail is no match for your garden when you sprinkle shavings of Irish Spring around the garden. The heavily scented soap deters rabbits until it is washed away by rain.
