1. Increased yield
When next to garlic, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and many other vegetables grow much better. Their resistance to diseases increases and productivity increases. For example, carrots become less vulnerable to carrot flies. Raspberries, currants, gooseberries will also suffer much less from various pests. If you plant garlic next to potatoes, it will be protected from the Colorado potato beetle and late blight. It is recommended to place garlic next to dill, parsley, rucola and other herbs.
2. Improving flower health
Garlic has a strong smell. Spraying roses with garlic infusions will help protect them from mites and aphids. The recipe is simple: you should grind the cloves of garlic into gruel and fill them with warm water (200 g per 1 liter of water), the solution should be infused for about 5 days.
Bulbous flowers such as daffodils, gladioli, hyacinths, tulips grow well next to garlic.
3. Fight against fungal diseases
Garlic acts as an antiseptic, so it can help fight fungus that can develop on many plants. This vegetable improves the immunity of green crops, its use in the country can serve as an excellent prophylaxis (neglected diseases are still treated with chemicals). Garlic infusion can help in the fight against black leg, powdery mildew, late blight.
4. Insect and other pest control
When dealing with pests, it is recommended to use garlic infusion instead of chemicals. The smell will scare away spider mites, caterpillars, Colorado potato beetles, ants, carrot flies and many other pests.
5. Scaring away birds
If birds disturb your garden (especially cherries and cherries), you should prepare a garlic infusion with hot peppers. When processing, it is recommended to pay special attention to the upper part of the trees (including branches). The harsh and characteristic smell of the vegetable will help scare off small birds and protect the garden.
Important! After rain, repeat the treatment of the garden, as the infusion will lose all its beneficial properties.
6. Fighting moles and mice
If mice and moles are harming your garden, using garlic cloves is a great solution. The smell will scare away animals (the cloves must be laid out in burrows and mole holes). This method can be effective, but there is no exact guarantee that it will help, because the exact location of minks and mole passages is not always known.
7. Application for other summer cottages
Garlic husk and juice are very sticky. This property can be useful when renovating your summer cottage. Squeeze out the juice and apply it to the crack you want to seal. Blot the rest with a napkin.
When working in the garden, a splinter can get in the finger (this happens quite often). Do not despair! It is enough just to chop one clove of garlic, apply the gruel to the damaged area and fix it with a plaster. You will see: the splinter will come out after a while!
Garlic disinfects the air, helps scare away clothes moths, protects the country house from bedbugs. Applying this vegetable on site can save you money on the purchase of harmful chemicals.
