One remedy against all the bugs in the garden (excl snail and mole)
Nothing as frustrating as a vegetable garden (or ornamental garden) where you put a lot of energy and love into and then suddenly see that uninvited guests have decided to eat their bellies at everything it did just as well. Of course you can run to the store to get a pot of poison and throw it over your garden with a satanic pleasure, but after enjoying the ultimate revenge, you'll come to your senses and probably think that you're actually just the poison vegetable of the average Dutch supermarket in your vegetable garden. you stand and probably that was what you didn't want. But what can you do?
I am a convenience person myself, I prefer to save my energy for other things because I don't have a lot of energy. And I'm a poverty rower who loves cheap and free. But then it has to work very well. I'm the type that would prefer to sprinkle napalm across the garden if it didn't destroy the plants as well.
Reading around (out of curiosity to see what others have come up with) on the internet I come across many methods and recipes. One against flies, the other against caterpillars and another against lice etc. Sometimes a recipe is effective against as many as three types of garden eaters, jippie de pippie. Too much work for me. I don't have a large vegetable garden, but I don't really feel like identifying one animal after another that gnaws on my crops, I want to be able to make or grab a fast-acting superagent without further thought and get into action. And you can, so I've been doing that for years.
My method consists of growing a load of hot peppers every year. The hotter the better! So if you have peppers that are high on the Scoville scale that you can't actually eat, then you're a little bit of a little bit. If you don't have such peppers but hot peppers from the supermarket or your own garden, it's going to be okay.!
Een expat die hier 3 jaar heeft gewoond, klaagde over muizen in haar huis. Ze onplofte bijna toen ik de onschuldige vraag stelde waar die beesten dan op afkwamen en schreef dat er is nog nooit 1 muis in mijn huis geweest: of ik haar soms beschuldigde van liegen? Welnee, ik geloof direct dat muizen op etensresten e.d. af komen! Maar ja, IK heb een stofzuiger:)
Dank je wel voor de tips. ik pin hem op pinterest
Ik ga in ieder geval weer pepertjes kweken..al was het maar vanwege dit paardenmiddel..
Let op : pepers kunnen door de huid heen in je bloedbaan en komen en je kunt ze dan zelfs proeven :-)
