Snails and slugs are common garden pests that can cause serious damage to plants and crops.
By feeding on the leaves, stems and fruits of plants, they can weaken plants and reduce yields.
Young seedlings are particularly vulnerable to snail attacks, which can result in their loss and crop reduction.
Snails and slugs reproduce quickly, and their population can grow rapidly in wet conditions, further increasing damage to the garden.
One snail can lay hundreds of eggs during one season.
So that all your efforts in the garden do not go to waste, today we will show two ways to get rid of them naturally.
Be sure to stay with us until the end of the video, as we show you where you can get one ingredient in massive amounts for free.
The first way is to put several spoons of wormwood and basil in a grinder.
Grinding everything together is more effective and breaks down better in water.
Wormwood and basil are plants that have proven to be excellent repellents for snails and slugs.
Wormwood is one of these plants that slugs and snails just cannot tolerate, and they slither away from it every time.
This plant emits a strong odor that snails cannot stand.
You can also consider growing it due to its fragrant leaves that have many uses in DIY projects.
Silver Mound Wormwood and Powis Castle are the two best kinds you can use to fight against slugs and snails.
Herbs like basil, mint, sage, thyme, parsley and rosemary are great repellents because slugs and snails don't like the strong scent of them either.
In addition, wormwood and basil contain various plant compounds that act as natural repellents for slugs and snails, preventing them from moving or feeding.
As soon as they smell them, they will disappear in 1 minute.
In addition to snails and slugs, they also repel insects such as aphids and caterpillars.
Once you have ground the basil and wormwood mix it into a litre of water, and let it stand for 24 hours.
Next, strain through a cheesecloth, and dilute it with about another 5 litres of water, depending on how much ingredients you used.
The last step is to Spray plants, soil and the entire garden and yard with the mix.
Spray every few days for maximum effect to repel the snails and slugs.
Another great way to get rid of snails and slugs is to sprinkle ashes on the ground.
Ash particles can be abrasive and irritating to the soft body of snails and slugs.
They also don’t like the alkalinity.
When snails come into contact with ash, they will move away from the area fast.
Ash can also be extremely useful in your garden and for your plants since it becomes an exceptional fertilizer.
Pour ash lightly all over the garden and let it work its magic.
You can get it for free in large quantities in restaurants that use a woodfired oven like pizzerias or from anyone who has a coal fire or wood burning stove.
