If snails attack your greenhouse and destroy your plants, do not rush to use chemicals. These gastropod destroyers can cause significant damage to your plants, especially during rainy weather. There is a natural solution: 3 simple natural repellents that will help you create an effective barrier and protect your greenhouse from these pests once and for all.
Calendula
Calendula, also known as marigold, is not only a charming plant, but also an effective natural snail repellent. Snails do not like its smell, so planting calendula around the greenhouse or between other plants will help get rid of these pests. Additionally, calendula attracts beneficial insects such as bees, which helps pollinate your favorite crops.
Wood ash
Ash is a simple and effective remedy for snails. Sprinkle it around plants or on the soil. The ash creates a barrier that the snails cannot overcome. It also improves soil fertility and neutralizes excess acidity. Especially useful for tomatoes and cucumbers.
Garlic and onion
Garlic and onion are natural repellents that repel snails with their strong scent. To do this, just make an infusion of chopped garlic and pour it over the soil around the plants. You can also simply place garlic cloves and onion skins around the bushes to create a natural pest barrier.
You can protect your greenhouse from snails without unnecessary costs or complications. Calendula, wood ash, garlic or onions will create a reliable barrier that will not only repel pests, but also improve the quality of the soil. These natural remedies are crop-safe and effective in snail control.
