Each gardener knows that plant health depends not only on watering and top dressing, but also on small assistants – useful insects. Pollinators, predatory beetles and parasitoids work quietly, supporting the balance in the ecosystem. But how to make them look at your garden more often?
Plant the following plants in yourself:
The first in the list is dill
Its umbrella inflorescences are lured by gold -grades and God's cows who hunt on the aphid. The plant is unpretentious and rapidly growing, creating a shelter for useful guests.
The second place is occupied by buckwheat
Her small white flowers are rich in nectar, attracting bees and murmur. These insects not only pollinate plants, but also reduce the number of pests.
The third option is calendula
Bright orange flowers serve as a bait for predatory bugs and OS-riders who control the populations of caterpillars and aphids. Calendula also disinfects the soil.
The fourth plant is tansy
Its sharp aroma scares away harmful insects, but attracts beneficial, for example, tachine flies. These parasitoids help fight caterpillars and beetles.
Closes the list of mint
Its small flowers love bees and murmurs, and the essential oils protect from ants and aphids. Mint grows rapidly, creating thick thickets, where useful insects find shelter.
It is enough to plant several types from this list to create favorable conditions for the natural protection of plants.
Earlier it was reported that it would save tomatoes from cracking.
