The soap to wash the insects is very good. Wash, glue, clean it, kill it! One of the most special characteristics of insects is their skin. Its structure is the skin, skeleton. They breathe down the surface. The skin is the protection. And the chitines, candles, etc. protection of the skin. They are attacked by soap. Abuse and frustrate their work. This is how soap can wash the insect.

The ideal is potash soap. The best done at home. Mix one liter of water to the ash of three or four kilos of wood, whisk well and leave it for a couple of days. Gradually add and mix the ash mass to a liter of vegetable oil. It must have a consistency similar to that of a cream. It is put on fire in a pot and thickened by constantly moving until it resembles a soap. Add a little salt and a few drops of lemon, mixing well one to one. You pick it up in a container and there you have the potash soap to wash or to wash the insects. Very natural. Instead of vegetable oil, animal fat is also not bad.

Like soap, the ash is good on another machine. To protect against the bites of worms, snails and bibs, spread ashes around it, freshly planted plants or sprouting from sown seeds. If, despite the bloating of the plants, there is an attack of small worms, such as those of the cabbage family, a half dozen tablespoons are mixed with a liter of ash water and the plant is well ground. Whites and plants attacked by white fungi can be directly incinerated. In the orchard, when the land is prepared, it is quietly thrown up to a kilo of square metre, but you have to give it more manure than usual. If it is mixed with the earth or with the compost, put little, otherwise it stays with the whole N. Ash is rich in potassium, which helps fight disease and is an exceptional food. In addition, it has lime, an element that does a good job in our clayey lands. So by releasing food from the earth, it does a great favor to plants. Like tomato, it also helps plants that love the basic land of high pH. When you change, give a little bit in the hole. If you have a pond or a swamp and the algae have a beech, the way to postpone it is to add some ash.

In order to do this, of course, the ashes and ashes of the winter fires must be collected.

Readers asking: pores
Hello! Two months ago we put a handful of pores in our small garden; despite having read some advice and receiving a lot of aid, they are as miserable as we plant leeks. They have around them some weeds (in Spanish “aros”), and they cannot. In the photos you can see... [+]

Coffee to the garden

The coffee is bitter. I like bitter. Away from the sweet, with salt tip and roasting point. I often dream that a drop of salt would go well. Coffee really! What can dry spine cause a touch coffee to flourish between the last beam of the palate and the pendicular behind the... [+]

Liquid sludge
