There are no two ways about it: some of the slims can be a disaster for your garden. Eating your vegetables, boring holes in your hydrangeas, and even tunnel throwing your tubers (yes, really), leaf lovers have historically the enemy of the common British gardener.
Of course, we now know that slimy insects have roles in the ecosystem (even if they haven’t played too close to radishes). It is a vital food source for England’s rapidly reducing bird population; They do a great job in composting; And they help general biological diversity and ecological balance Your grass (never a bad thing).
To remove the slimy insects in your garden, the persecution is to put a melon in the courtyard for one night before removing the monster shells the next morning.
And even though we love this hack, it seems to be another, easier to keep your vegetables without leech-and it also helps everything from scaring birds to keeping the deer away and even creating sun boxes.
Simple aluminum foil is the best friend of the gardener. That’s why we thought we’d share some of the many uses:
1) makes a great pest control
Herbicides can be harder than the pests you want to target in the health of your garden. Bahçelik Expert Arthur Parkinson told HuffPost UK, “If you have children, if you have pets, you should not use chemicals. But even worse, if you use chemicals, you kill our polls we need for food production.
Fortunately, adding some foil to your plants does not kill a very important pollination-only some slimy insects and other unwanted garden guests. “Reflecting Malçlar pushes insect populations that invade,” University of California shared.
And when it comes to slimy insects, the foil uses the same logic with copper tapes with the same logic – “Metal causes a reaction with mucus trunks they don’t really like,” He said metro.
Place some foil layers on the base of your plants for harmful magic.
2) Tinfoil can create useful solar boxes
If you are worried that your plants do not receive enough light, a little foil can come a long way. “Using aluminum foil can help you double the sun that your indoor plants take in dual,” House Digest said.
The reason for this is that “reflective properties will work as a mirror and reflect the light to every niche and craft of your interior plants from the window”, so you will not have to turn your flower plants frequently to make your plants get that much light.
And them Not just for indoor plants – “They are also trying to grow any seedlings in the interiors and to help new plants from nursery to grow more straight and stronger.”
Using foil, tape and cardboard, you can install a box with a tinfoil lining yourself.
3) Tinfoil birds and deer can scare
If they do not cause a problem, scare birds is not a really good idea, but under serious conditions, you can ban unwanted birds by wrapping foil around or around your deer plants. “Birds do not like the feeling of foil under their beaks and stay away,” Northwest says.
The cheat also works for Peckish Deer, who says that howsufworks hates bright things. They recommend wrapping the foil to the trunk of evacuated plants: “The foil should be at least as high as your waist, because the deer is fed on plants that are much shorter. they say.
Well, I’m going to the kitchen …
