\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Baking soda has been shown to be useful for removing stains, whitening teeth, cleaning surfaces, and even removing pesticides. Its functions are diverse and baking soda adds another string to its bow. This is its use in gardening which is also very practical for many reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 8 uses for baking soda in the garden:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. KEEP BUGS AWAY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To get rid of the insects that plague your garden, baking soda will be your main ally. Get out of chemical pesticides that are harmful to your health and the environment, and prefer this more ecological white powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, mix in a spray bottle, one liter of water, one tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of baking soda and a few drops of liquid soap. Spray your garden with this mixture every three days to repel insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. GET RID OF FUNGI, MILDEW AND WEEDS:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To get rid of fungus in the garden, mix 4 teaspoons of baking soda with a gallon of water and apply the mixture to problem areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To protect fruits and vegetables from powdery mildew, spray them with a mixture of one tablespoon of baking soda, 2.5 tablespoons of horticultural oil, and one gallon of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To kill weeds, especially crabgrass that grows between sidewalk cracks, moisten the area and put a thick layer of baking soda inside the cracks to make a paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. INCREASES THE LIFE OF FLOWERS.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you like to have bouquets of roses or flowers at home to enjoy their scent, you can improve their appearance and increase their lifespan by putting them in a vase of water with a pinch of salt and sodium bicarbonate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. WATER THE FLOWERS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To water the flowers in your garden, don’t hesitate to add a little baking soda to your watering can. You will notice later that your flowers will be brighter and healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. IMPROVE THE FLAVOR AND APPEARANCE OF PLANTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Tomatoes are sweeter when grown in less acidic soil. So sprinkle baking soda on the ground around them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • To stimulate the flowering of begonias, hydrangeas and geraniums, pour them monthly with a unique tonic based on two liters of water and a tablespoon of baking soda.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • To make your lilies, lilies, geraniums, and daisies healthier and brighter, add baking soda to the water before pouring it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      6. CLEAN THE GARDEN DECORATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      You all know the virtues of baking soda to clean the kitchen or bathroom. And your garden can benefit from its cleaning power, too. All you have to do is sprinkle the white powder on all the decorative objects in your garden and then wipe them with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      7. GET RID OF THE ANTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Are your garden and house infested with ants? no panic. Mix five teaspoons of baking soda with five teaspoons of icing sugar and one tablespoon of water. Look for anthills and pour this mixture over them. You will say goodbye to annoying ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      8. TEST THE SOIL PH<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      To test soil pH, you will need half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of vinegar. Next, take two soil samples and place them in separate containers. Pour vinegar into one of the samples and if it bubbles, its pH is above seven or alkaline. Otherwise, add baking soda with half a cup of water to the other sample. If it sprouts now, it is sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To diminish the intense smell of compost, simply sprinkle some baking soda over the pile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
