    Before the beginning of flowering from flying pests I hang in the crown of each tree on 2-3 traps with a liquid bait.

    For this purpose, plastic bottles, cut to half, to which I fasten the wire, as well as pails from mayonnaise or ice cream, are well suited. As a bait I use some sweetish aromatic liquid. For example, such: in 1 l of water I add 1 st. A spoonful of sugar, old honey or jam; I use sour compote or juice, half diluted in water; 100 ml of apple cider vinegar diluted in 3 l of water; a handful of breadcrumbs pour 3 l of water with the addition of 1 st. spoons of sugar, I give ferment 3 days, then dilute kvass in half with water; peel one banana I pour 2 l of water and I insist 3 days.
    The contents of the traps are filtered once a week to remove a large number of pests. In this liquid I add fresh kvass and again I hang it to the branches.

    Every spring I buy 20 broiler chickens, and a little later another 20 ducklings. And also in my area rabbits are constantly living in cages - a male and two females, in the spring the females bring offspring. Feed is a little expensive, so I add grass from the garden to the feed. I conditionally divide all grass into three groups.
    The first group of
    Poisonous and inedible herbs: celandine, nightshade, buttercup, prickly thorn, and so on. I throw them into the compost pile or burn them, and clean the celandine and nightshade soaked in a barrel and treat them with shrubs and plantings from pests.

    The second group
    Conditionally edible grass: mokritsa, mugs, sot, bojak, milkman, galinsoga (American), edible grass from beds. All this, as well as plant waste from cultivated plants (leaves or leaves), I give to the birds, and they eat well. By the autumn I am not only with the harvest of vegetables and fruits, but also with meat, manure for fertilizing the garden.

    The third group
    Edible grass: wheatgrass, quinoa, plantain, wormwood, alfalfa, clover, bindweed, dandelion, horse sorrel, etc. I "grow" them in row-spacing, and when they grow up to 20-30 cm, I am pruning, chopping roots, slightly drying and I feed rabbits. If there are a lot of grass, dry it on the roof of the barn.
    Nettle I during the whole summer tear, finely cut, to sense before the appearance of juice and add to the feed for birds.

    How do I freeze the weeds

    To easily get rid of weeds, in winter I sprinkle snow with wood ash abundantly. I cover the old I with a film and press the bricks.

    At the end of winter, as soon as the sun warms up, the black snow under the film melts quickly, and immediately the grass grows. As soon as I see the greenery, I remove the shelter. But it's still cold outside! And the weed safely. And I again cover this area with a film, so that the grass blades have penetrated, which hid deeper and did not manage to germinate the last time. I repeat the procedure with freezing.

    Wild grasses, weeds grown in the garden, can be used to protect against pests.

    Take, for example, wormwood. It is good at combating the moth. To do this, you need 2 kg of ground wormwood to fill with water, insist 2 days, then bring to a boil and cook 30 min. Cool and dilute halfway with water. Infusion strain and spray the affected fruit mulch plants 2 times, with an interval of 6 days.
    The roots of a dandelion are effective against a badger and aphid. Dug roots, rinse, cut (should get 300 g), add 400 g of crushed dandelion leaves and pour everything with hot water (10 L). Insist under the lid. After a day, sprinkle with the infusion of the plant.

    Thus, using wild plants, it is possible to avoid chemical treatments in the garden, to save many useful insect pollinators and to protect themselves from exposure to harmful substances contained in finished preparations.

    In our garden, from time to time, a malicious weed - dodder appears. She especially likes to settle in beet beds. As it grows, the dodger clings to the plant with its suction cups-haustoriums and begins to pull nutrients from it. The host plant first lags behind in growth, and then, if nothing is done, it can die at all.

    Dodder has a great ability to regenerate (restore). Even small detached processes, abandoned in the garden, when in contact with the plant quickly cling to it and begin to parasitize.
    If we find this weed in the garden, we tear out the infected plant, carefully collect all the particles of dodder, take it out of the plot, dry it and burn it.
    It must be remembered that this tenacious plant has seeds that are very small like dust, which retain their germination for many years. Therefore, it is necessary to destroy the forest before flowering; if you are late, make a bonfire at the site of detection of the weed. Once a week, you should inspect infected areas, destroy seedlings and sprouts of weed.
