Aphids are a garden owner’s nightmare. These pests spread very quickly among vegetables, causing enormous damage and even death of the plants. One of the best solutions is ecological fumigation. Here we explain how to prepare it.
Aphids most often attack tomatoes in the garden. These pests reproduce very quickly, which can lead to the infestation of many plants in a very short time. They feed on plant sap and absorb nutrient-rich liquids. The consequences are devastating: plants weaken, become less resistant to climate change, their growth can even be inhibited and yields reduced.
It is therefore not surprising that many people are looking for a way to get rid of aphids. It turns out that sometimes, instead of spending money on chemicals, it is enough to use home remedies for aphids. The most well-known (but not the most effective) is plain vinegar, perfect for preparing a spray against aphids. It should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10 (add 100 ml of vinegar for 1 litre of water) and add a little black soap.
Another well-known home method against aphids can be a mixture of water and whole milk (not skimmed) in a 1:1 ratio. But the two previous methods do not match the secret recipe of many gardeners that we now reveal to you…
In fact, there is another eco-friendly method to combat aphids in the garden. Thanks to this, the pests will disappear in 10 seconds and will not return to your garden. You will need several cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of hot pepper, 1 liter of hot water. Crush the garlic and add the chili. Cover both ingredients with water and wait about 6 hours. Filter the preparation and dilute it with water: 250 ml of solution per 10 liters of water. Spray this homemade spray on your vegetables every two days. Both garlic and hot pepper have insecticidal properties. This will kill the aphids and they will not want to come back.
