Very often, people believe that pests and diseases cannot be combated by means that are safe for nature and humans. But this is not so. It's just that we don't always know what exactly can replace pesticides. We offer you some fairly common problems and ways to solve them.

Of course, this article is unlikely to be useful to those who decide to buy a two-bedroom apartment in Moscow. However, even in the apartment, people plant winter gardens, fight diseases of indoor plants and clean the soil in pots from pests. It's worth reading our recommendations, what if you can put them into practice in the apartment?

To prevent the development of phytophthora, you can spray the plants with fermented kefir. Take one liter of fermented kefir and mix it in a ten-liter bucket of water. Spray the plants with this solution, and lactic acid bacteria will prevent phytophthora infections from developing. The garlic solution has a similar effect. It is necessary to grind fifty grams of garlic in a garlic press and stir this gruel in a bucket of water. Strain and sprinkle the plants with such garlic water.

If the first signs of phytophthora on tomatoes have already appeared, then it is worth doing everything to speed up the ripening of tomatoes. To do this, 100 grams of table salt is dissolved in one liter of water and the leaves are sprayed with this solution. As a result, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and all the juices of the plant will be used to ripen the tomatoes. Try to collect and remove yellowed leaves from the site in order to remove the source of infection and not saturate the soil with salt.

To get rid of slugs, you need to buy dry mustard powder and sprinkle it on the places where these pests accumulate (under leaves, in thick and tall grass). Other pests, such as aphids, cabbage moths, and so on, also react poorly to mustard. Aphids, by the way, can be removed by sprinkling the damaged leaves with wood ash.

To disinfect the planting material, it is necessary to soak it in garlic water. Take one kilogram of garlic and grind it in a mortar, chop it or transfer it with a garlic press. Put it in a bucket of water, mix thoroughly and put the planting material there for 8 hours. Such treatment will not only destroy any pathogenic particles, but also significantly increase the yield. It is especially good to process potatoes in this way. Well, if you consider that potassium permanganate is not easy to get today, then garlic solution may well be an excellent substitute.
