Natural pesticides and do-it-yourself to annihilate the unwelcome guests in your garden

On issues concerning the universe, until now garden was a good teacher. Revealed to you on how we can make vertical, dictated the Decalogue to make it perfectly biological and informed on how to make a small space in the guide for cultivating the garden on the balcony.

We have rotten tomatoes? Perfect, do not discard. Water mix them up to create a sort of liquid solution and after which sprinkle on your plants. According to a theme of researchers from the University of North Carolina would seem that a derivative of the tomato genetic cause a characteristic odor intolerable for many types of parasites. You just have to try!

Another great natural pesticide from garlic is represented. Just take 3/4 cloves of minced garlic and add them to a couple of teaspoons of mineral oil. Once this is done, let it sit overnight and the composition of which must be removed after the pieces of garlic oil. At this point, adding a glass of water and a teaspoon of biodegradable soap will get a lethal mixture for insects. The compounds of garlic (ie the diallyl disulfide and diallyl trisulfide), in fact, are irritating and fatal for most of the parasites. The only precaution: Do not place this "magic ointment" during the hottest hours or days during the so-called sun splitting the stones. The oil may burn and ruin the plant.

Mixing, however, two teaspoons of pepper, a few drops of dish detergent biodegradable and half a glass of water, you have an excellent remedy for mites. This spray works because the "heat" of chili peppers is irritating to many more insects than it is for us!

If you have trouble with snails instead you should get them to drink. You will not believe but are greedy for beer. Depositing on the floor of a flat plate (also a box is fine, those usually used for tuna) will attract the slugs that take away from the leaves and eventually drowned hops. Hops, strange but true, powerfully attracts snails. We recommend, however, to fix the container about one centimeter below the ground level, so that the shellfish leaning may end up in it. Put it at the same ground level would mean having offered a round of beer at the nice horned animal that drank, I can then go back to finish the happy hour on your plant!

If you do not have beer at home, we suggest also a non-alcoholic solution. Same procedure, but with lemon juice, oranges and grapefruits. Less effective, but still a viable alternative waiting in the purchase of a good malt liquid cash!

Problems with the wasp? Not the scooter, the insect! We recommend that you create traps with bottles. Take a series of bottles, open and with two fingers of the bottom of a sweetish any drink. The insect is attracted to it and we end up in, this is done you just need to check and riattappare the bottle.

A solution in the full respect of nature is to populate your garden with scissors. Yes, that's them nice (but not too much) insects that are usually found in the paper. They revel in the killing of several species of insects, and also do not eat at all plants.

There are, however, 4 tablespoons Tabasco sauce, a quarter of a teaspoon of water and biological washing powder to make your plants less tasty to many birds and mammals. This "cocktail" contains a substance - capsaicin - able to remove many warm-blooded animals.

If, instead, your plants were attacked by some kind of fungus. Sprinkle over the board and milk. It 'an excellent fungicide and prevents the growth of iodine.

Mold problems? A nice splash of soda, and the problem is solved. Baking soda destroys fungal spores, preventing them from germinating.

But when to go boredom are the continual unwanted weeds growing in your garden, use vinegar. The problem is that the vinegar kills all kinds of plants! For this reason, we recommend using a brush and wipe only on those weeds.

Simple remedy but equally functional, always refers to the problem of weeds is boiling water. Carefully pour the cracks in the wall or wherever there grow, troncherete the bud any kind of growth.

As you have seen just a few ingredients and a bit of good will to ensure your garden a natural course, but to be effective in the removal of insects and pests.
