HOW TO FIGHT BLOCK, WIRE, COLORAD AND SPIDER MITE
July and August are a favorite time for many gardeners. The plants are already in full production. What else is needed for happiness?
Perhaps the weather is good so that the bugs and spiders do not encroach on the fruits of our labors. And if it is unlikely that it will be possible to order the right weather, then it is much easier to protect the garden from pests.
FLEA-MAIN ENEMY OF CABBAGE
For several years in a row it remained without a crop of cabbage and radish. Blame cruciferous fleas and aphids. I had to learn to defend myself. From cruciferous fleas, I spray the plants with Fitoverm. I carry out the processing in the evening once every 5 days, after which I cover the bed with a film for 2 hours. Then, on wet leaves, I dust the bushes with sifted ash. If I notice fresh holes of a characteristic round shape on the leaves, I additionally spray the cabbage with a solution of vinegar essence (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water).
From aphids, I process vegetables and the ground under them with a decoction of chopped garlic cloves. Boil 200 g of garlic gruel in 3 liters of boiling water for 15 minutes. I filter and bring the volume to 10 liters. Before spraying, I add 30 g of green soap.

WIRE TRAP WITH OWN HANDS
A couple of years ago, on the advice of a neighbor, this is how I got rid of the wireworm.
I put the peeled large potatoes on wooden sticks and buried them next to the bushes with tubers down 3-4 m from each other. After 5-6 days, I dug up and burned the wireworm along with the worms that came across. I repeated the process every two weeks.
In addition, she made sure that sow thistle and wheatgrass did not appear on the site.
Twice a season, before the rain, she sprinkled dry ammonium sulfate on the soil (2 tablespoons per 1 sq.m).
And by the new season, there were much fewer wireworms on the site. And over the next year, we managed to get rid of pests completely!

PROTECTION AGAINST THE COLORADO BEETLE
I read the recipe for this infusion a long time ago in a tear-off calendar. I tried to use unusual advice - and was surprised to notice that after just one spraying, the Colorado potato beetles disappear for a few days. And this is without the use of chemical insecticides!
Half a bucket of fresh poplar leaves pour 10 liters of boiling water, boil for 15 minutes, then insist 3-4 days in warmth, dilute with water 1: 1 and process the bushes. I try to get the liquid on the back of the leaves and on the ground.
And a neighbor said that potatoes from the Colorado potato beetle are sprayed with a decoction of walnut leaves. Pour 100 g of fresh leaves with 2 liters of boiling water and keep on fire for 5-10 minutes. Then 200 ml of the concentrate is diluted in 10 liters of water. According to her, the tool works great.

INfusions from the spider mite
A spider mite can easily destroy an entire cucumber garden in just a matter of days. I checked this truth in my own garden a couple of years ago. I got both zucchini and watermelons. Probably, I would have been left without a crop at all, if a note in an old economic journal had not caught my eye. The author proposed to fight insects by spraying pumpkin seeds every 4-5 days with the following infusions. You can use them in any order, the main thing is not to use the same tool several times in a row.
150 g of fresh feathers and garlic husks pour 10 liters of boiling water, let it brew for a day, add 30 ml of liquid soap. Copiously spray the plants from above, the underside of the leaves and the soil under the bushes. 0 buckets of onion peel pour 5 liters of boiling water, insist for a day. I dilute with water (10: 1), add 2 tbsp. liquid soap and process in the same way as in the previous case.
400 g of fresh dope grass, pour 10 liters of hot water, let it brew for 10 hours, filter, add 20-40 g of grated laundry soap, mix. By the way, I dig dope and spray the plants with gloves, a respirator and glasses, since dope is poisonous. The fruits that I pick after such processing are thoroughly washed.
