Biological control, a healthy garden without chemicals

[tigrou_838]

Hello,

I also tested the megots mixture in water and spray under the leaves, it also worked well to transfer the aphids, but the problem was rather the smell rather unpleasant
in the rose bushes.

put all the megots in a bowl filled with water and leave to macerate a week. 20megots in 1 / 2liter.

filter,

then to irrigate the liquid obtained.

I prefer the smell of marseille soap.

if not my grandmother's grandmother says that putting some varieties of flowers (I remember more than I ask her) next to the vegetable plants causes aphids and other insects to go on these flowers rather than vegetables ...

Yes, it's the nasturtiums. In addition they put beautiful bright colors in the garden.

[Chrisboubou47]

Oh yes, that's it ...

for the rest, I have not tested with cigarette butts ... and the macerate of tobacco leaves I tested it on alteas, not roses ... so it's true that I did not think about smell, in any case I did not feel anything special ...
maybe tobacco leaves contain less "products" than cigarette butts ????

[georges100]

your leaves contain less nicotine than butts it's safe ....
especially if your leaves come from the ornamental tabs sold in the trade which contiennet very very little ...
tobacco "to smoke" are sale and cultivation regulated ...

[Chrisboubou47]

that's what it seemed to me but I did not mean nonsense ...

thank you for the precision

Hello,
if you use the nuts in your machine:

deviate the water outlet and fill a trash can of 300 liters,
use this water to water your garden, and spray on the aphids!

[Chrisboubou47]

really clever this "duplication"! thank you!

[Christophe]

Well, it really does not work well with aphids ...

I had tested 2 years ago with a concentrated decoction made from "fresh" soap nuts.

Effect 0.0 on "our" aphids ... Maybe it works better on other?
