Baking soda, a kitchen staple, is also a versatile tool for gardeners. Here are ten clever ways to use it in your garden:
Weed Control
- Sprinkle and cover: Sprinkle baking soda directly on weeds, then cover with a layer of newspaper or cardboard to prevent sunlight from reaching them.
- Create a spray: Mix 1.5 cups of baking soda with a small amount of liquid soap in a gallon of water. Spray on weeds, focusing on the base of the plant.
Pest Deterrent
- Ant and slug control: Sprinkle baking soda around the base of plants to deter ants, slugs, and snails.
Fungal Disease Prevention
- Create a fungicide: Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 2-3 drops of liquid soap in a liter of water. Spray on plants to help prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew and black spot.
