Home Gardener Uncovers Simple Lemongrass Secret for Pest-Free Vegetables
A home gardener has shared a surprising and effective method for natural pest control, claiming that planting lemongrass alongside collard greens has kept her vegetables remarkably free of slugs and other damaging insects. The gardener, known as Crystal B, stated in a recent video that she previously struggled with pests, even resorting to protective nets. However, since incorporating lemongrass into her garden, her collard greens are thriving with no signs of bug bites. "I think I may have found a hack for keeping the slugs and nasty bugs off of the collard greens," she remarked, showcasing her pristine plants. She encourages fellow gardeners to try this simple, natural solution and share their experiences, suggesting it could be a game-changer for organic pest management. She also noted the healthy growth of basil and marigolds in her garden, though she attributes the pest control primarily to the lemongrass.
