Soaked the garden extensively with a liter of water, combined with three spoonfuls, for a thorough dousing.
In the heart of Russia's Magadan Oblast, gardeners are discovering innovative ways to maintain a flourishing garden. Here are some tips to help you keep pests at bay and ensure a bountiful harvest.
Firstly, a solution made from red pepper can be a game-changer for your dacha. By mixing a liter of water with three tablespoons of red pepper, one tablespoon of vegetable oil, and one tablespoon of lemon juice, you can create a potent spray to deter ants and aphids. Applying this solution to your plants using a spray bottle will not harm them but will keep ants away, preventing aphids from appearing.
Using this red pepper solution on your dacha can help get rid of pests immediately and prevent their return for many years. If pests reappear, the treatment can be repeated to maintain a pest-free garden.
For those growing currants, feeding them the Soviet fertilizer called 'Poor Jew' in September-October can prevent branches from breaking under the weight of berries the next year.
When it comes to tomatoes, seeking out a specific variety with a sweet and juicy flavor, reminiscent of a fruit that 'explodes' in your mouth, can be a rewarding endeavor. Despite being hard to find, these unique tomatoes are well worth the search.
In terms of pruning, proper fall pruning of roses can lead to abundant blooming in the spring, while double pruning of raspberries can lead to a large harvest of berries.
Lastly, for a more pleasant garden experience, pouring an unspecified substance into a dacha toilet pit can help eliminate unpleasant smells.
