Gardeners Discover Eco-Friendly Pest Control with Old Kitchen Spices
A recent online video from "Garden of Nash," featuring Dr. Nashlie, has highlighted an innovative and eco-friendly approach to pest control in gardens. Dr. Nashlie demonstrates how common household spices, even those past their prime such as pepper, ginger, and cinnamon, can be repurposed to create an effective natural pesticide. The method involves mixing these old spices and placing them in a container with holes, allowing them to be sprinkled around garden beds. According to Dr. Nashlie, the strong scent of these spices acts as a deterrent for many common garden pests, forming a protective barrier around plants. She noted that this natural method helps to keep unwanted insects away while allowing beneficial pollinators to continue their work, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides. This tip could be particularly useful for home gardeners looking for cost-effective and environmentally conscious ways to protect their plants.
