The World’s Strongest Natural Fungicide and Insecticide
Are you tired of seeing your plants attacked by fungi and pests? Don’t worry – you can create a powerful, all-natural solution with just two ingredients: alcohol and garlic. Here’s how you can make the strongest fungicide and insecticide in the world right at home!
Why Natural Fungicides and Insecticides?
Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out, you’ve likely faced the problem of unwanted pests and fungi. Aphids, for example, drain a plant’s sap and can kill it if left unchecked. Even seemingly harmless snails can be destructive, chewing through leaves and stems. Using chemical pesticides is not the only solution. With this easy recipe, you can protect your plants naturally!
What You’ll Need
6 cloves of garlic
70% alcohol
Water
(Optional) 1 tablespoon of Marseille soap
Instructions
Prepare the Garlic: Crush the garlic cloves and place them in a clean bottle.
Create the Solution: Fill the bottle halfway with alcohol and the other half with water.
Optional Addition: For extra effectiveness, add 1 tablespoon of Marseille soap.
Mix and Macerate: Seal the bottle tightly, shake it well, and let the mixture sit for an hour.
Apply: Spray the solution on the leaves and soil of your plants. This mixture effectively wards off aphids, whiteflies, wasps, ladybugs, ants, and even snails.
Extra Tips for Keeping Pests Away Naturally
Garlic isn’t the only natural ally in the fight against pests. Other ingredients can enhance your pest control toolkit:
Neem Oil: Known for repelling worms and larvae, this oil is widely available in gardening stores.
Herb and Ash Mix: Blend 15 chopped mint leaves, 1 tablespoon of ash, 2 crushed garlic cloves, a pinch of tobacco, and 1 tablespoon of Marseille soap in a liter bottle. Let the mixture chill for 24 hours, strain, and then spray on your plants for added protection.
Natural Alternatives to Strengthen Your Plants
Sulfur Powder: This natural ingredient, when sprinkled into the soil, boosts plants’ resilience against pests like fleas, ticks, larvae, and fungi.
Eggshells: Crushed eggshells act as both a natural fertilizer and a barrier against pests like earthworms, snails, and caterpillars. Let the shells dry for 24 hours, crush them, and spread them around your plants to create a pest-free zone.
Give these natural solutions a try, and enjoy healthier, pest-free plants!
