 Baking soda is a gardener's best friend - here are 14 nifty apps in the garden



Gardening is one of the best physical activities you can do because it comes with countless physical and mental health benefits. Also, the fresh and home-grown products are of much higher quality and taste incomparable to what we buy at the grocery store.


Still, did you know that baking soda in the garden can be your magic wand?


Since it is an amazing kitchen ingredient and the best beauty care and cleaning product, this versatile agent is your best friend when it comes to the whole house.


To remove critters, mix one tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of baking soda, and two drops of liquid soap in a gallon of water. Spray the garden once every three days. Spray this mixture gently every three days to avoid bugs in the garden.


Mix equal amounts of flour and baking soda with any ingredients that grow with cabbage worms and wipe them off.

Mix 5 tablespoons of baking soda with the same amount of powdered sugar and a tablespoon of water and pour the mixture over the ants. Add a little vinegar and you will reduce the number of ants around the garden.


2. Fungi, fungi, and weeds


To get rid of the fungus in the garden, mix 4 teaspoons of baking soda in a gallon of water and apply the mixture to the problem areas.

To protect fruits and vegetables from fungus, spray them with a tablespoon of baking soda, 2.5 tablespoons of garden oil, and a gallon of water.

To remove weeds, especially crab grasses that grow between cracks in your sidewalk, moisten that area and add a thick layer of baking soda to form a paste.


3. Fertilizer and soil


To test the pH of the soil, you need half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of vinegar. Next, take two samples of soil and place them in separate containers. Pour the vinegar into one of the samples and if it comes to bubbles, its pH will be seven or above the alkali. Otherwise, add baking soda with half a cup of water in the other sample, if it bubbles now, it is acidic.

To reduce the pungent odor of manure, spray a little baking soda on top of the pile.


4. Taste and origin of plants


Tomatoes are sweet when grown in low acid soils, so spray a little baking soda on the soil around them.

To stimulate the bloom of begonias, hydrangeas, and geraniums, pour monthly water with two quarts of water and a tablespoon of baking soda with a unique tonic.

To make your lilies, irises, geraniums, and daisies grow healthier and brighter, add a little baking soda to the water before pouring.


5. Cleaning


Use baking soda to clean your garden decor. Wash them with warm water and two tablespoons of baking soda. Dip a brush into the mixture to remove stains.

Baking soda is great for cleaning garden sidewalks. When they are covered with weeds, wash them with the same mixture and they will become beautiful again.

Clean and deodorize garden tools with baking soda.
