Discover How You Can Use Vinegar in Your Garden

7. REMOVES GARDEN INSECTS

Mix one part of vinegar, three parts of water and a teaspoon of dishwashing agent into a spray bottle. Mix the combination well and spray throughout your garden.

8. REMOVES FRUIT FLIES

Save your fruits with this solution:

  • Mix one tablespoon of molasses, half a cup of apple cider vinegar, a quarter cup of sugar and a cup of water.
  • Pour the mixture into some container of your choice and hang it on your fruit tree.
  • Fruit flies will attack the mixture and get trapped in.
  • This is also an effective method against household flies.

9. REFRESHES THE ACID LOVING PLANTS WITH VINEGAR

Keep your azaleas, gardenias, and rhododendrons happy. Mix a cup of vinegar and a gallon of water and water the plants with the mixture. You will notice a significant growth.

10. REMOVES RUST FROM GARDEN TOOLS

Spray some undiluted vinegar on your tools or just dip them in it for several minutes. Then, rinse them well.

11. FIGHTS FUNGUS

If you notice that your plants are not growing well or have some dark spots on the leaves and stems, they are probably affected by mold or fungus. White vinegar will solve this problem and protect the plants.

Brew some chamomile tea and add two teaspoons of vinegar. Spray the plants with this mixture and watch them become bigger and vivid.

For roses, apply some different technique:

Combine four liters of water and three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Spray the roses with this solution and the fungus will be gone.

12. KILLS SNAILS AND SLUGS

Keep the snails and slugs away from your garden with white vinegar, a potent “anti-snail” product.

SEEDS GERMINATION

Use white vinegar when germinating seeds, in particular for moonflowers, okra, asparagus, glories and other seeds that do not germinate very easily.

With a coarse sandpaper, rub the seeds. Make sure you do this one night before you plant them. Combine 125 ml of vinegar, 500 ml of warm water and a squirt of washing-up liquid. Then, soak the seeds in the solution. The following day, plant the seeds, and they will start growing very soon.
