Spring is the peak season for aphids. They appear almost out of nowhere and make life difficult for our plants. In addition to the voracious snails, aphids are the most common plant pests that make many a gardener despair.
It goes without saying that chemicals have no place in the garden. It is better to try biological pesticides and household remedies, for the sake of the environment. Garlic, for example, is very effective in controlling aphids. If one clove in the soil of the affected plant is not enough because the infestation is too severe, a simple garlic broth can help.
You don't know how to make this brew? In the video posted above, Sandra explains exactly how it works on her YouTube channel Grüneliebe. This guarantees that nothing can go wrong during production. At the end of the video, she shows how the affected plants are treated with the brew. Then aphids will finally be a thing of the past and without any chemicals.
My tip:
The garlic stock not only helps against aphids, but also against maggot and mite infestations and even against snails. So it is never wrong to plant garlic in your own garden. If you don't eat it regularly, you can always use it for pest control.
