Although they are cute and much appreciated by children, they are nevertheless the worst nightmare for gardeners. And it is no surprise that, of all the harmful insects, they are certainly the ones that cause the most damage to our crops. Do you have a plague of snails and slugs in your garden and don&#8217;t know how to get rid of it? Have you considered watermelon rinds? Quickly discover this very promising trick and a whole range of effective remedies to keep these undesirables away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the mollusc family,&nbsp;&nbsp;garden snails&nbsp;&nbsp;are notorious for ravaging vegetables, flowers and plants, regularly chewing through the outer layer of leaves. The result: crops are often in a deplorable state. To avoid all this intense damage to your crops, our tips will make your life easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pourquoi-vous-devriez-eparpiller-des-ecorces-de-pasteque-dans-votre-jardin\">Why should you spread watermelon rinds in your garden?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Un-escargot-dans-le-jardin.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342346\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"caption-attachment-342346\">A snail in the garden \u2013 Source: spm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A summer fruit par excellence, watermelon is on everyone&#8217;s table right now. As tasty as it is refreshing and full of vitamins, it is also an absolute weapon in the fight against garden snails. Indeed, its rind is ideal for trapping all these pests that represent a real danger to garden crops. And this, because of its sweet and tempting smell. Watermelon rinds are like bait that attract snails and slugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is best to spread the bark in the garden in the evening. Then all the snails will gather in one place in the morning. This way, you will get rid of them very easily without even using chemicals that are dangerous for the environment and for these insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NB<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;: Don&#8217;t have watermelon in the kitchen? Melon peel will have a similar effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dautres-astuces-pour-eloigner-les-escargots-de-votre-jardin\">Other tips to keep snails away from your garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Un-escargot-sur-une-plante.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342347\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"caption-attachment-342347\">A snail on a plant \u2013 Source: spm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wood ash mixed with ground coffee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a very effective ecological remedy to keep snails away from your plants. Mix wood ash with&nbsp; coffee&nbsp;grounds&nbsp;&nbsp;. Place this natural compost around the plants most at risk, or along the perimeter of the garden, if it is not too large. This will immediately block them: because snails hate crawling on rough areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>chopped eggshells<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same way as the previous solution, use crushed eggshells to prevent them from approaching the plants. Sprinkle them well around the plants that are often infested with insects. As you can imagine, this makes the ground impermeable to the slug&#8217;s pasty body. Since they will have a hard time crawling, they will no longer be able to venture out and therefore leave your plants alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sulfur powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powdered sulfur is an organic product: in addition to being an effective fungicide, it is also an excellent natural repellent for many garden insects, such as whiteflies and red mites. Thus, thanks to this remedy, it will be very easy to create a protective barrier against snails and slugs along the perimeter of the garden. This is enough to deter them from approaching the plants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NB<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;: Be careful, make sure the sulfur powder is 100% pure so as not to damage your crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chemicals and pesticides<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, some classic pesticides will also do the job perfectly. You can choose to use a pest control spray to repel slugs and snails. However, it is not recommended to spray it directly on crops as it can burn the leaves of the plants. So be very careful! If you prefer another natural alternative: salt is also an ideal solution to kill slugs and snails. Other compounds such as chlorine (bleach), aluminium sulphate and potassium permanganate will also act as powerful pesticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NB<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;: Be careful when using salt, apply sparingly as it can harm other&nbsp;&nbsp;plants&nbsp;&nbsp;and creatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From April to June, and sometimes even throughout the summer, our gardens are full of snails that feast on all the fresh vegetation.
