“We provide tips on how to make your garden more attractive, not just to you, but to the oh-so-necessary bees, butterflies and birds – and the unattractive, unwanted pests”, says Sean Granger, general manager of Granny Mouse.
Garlic: Pop a clove of garlic into a blender, add a cup of water and puree until finely blended. Place in a spray bottle and fill up with water. Shake well and spray onto plants. Garlic is a deterrent, encouraging insects to move to more appetising plants. Unlike many other types of insecticidal garden sprays, garlic can safely be applied to the leaves of plants.Eggshells: Next time you plant vegetables, crush eggshells, not too fine, and add them to the bottom of the hole.
Diatomaceous earth: The sharp surfaces cut through the insect cuticle and the insect dies of dehydration. Diatomaceous earth kills slugs, snails and ants, and should only be applied to problem areas to avoid killing worms and similar garden-healthy occupants.
