Garlic: a smell that will scare away aphids from your plants!

Garlic is known for its strong smell and is generally used in cooking to enhance the taste of certain dishes. Whether you are an amateur or not, do not overlook this ingredient with which you can easily concoct a natural and effective repellent against aphids. To do this, simply bring 10 cloves of chopped garlic to the boil in a covered saucepan with 5 liters of water for 20 minutes. After turning off the heat, let it sit for another hour, with the saucepan still covered. Once cooled, you can filter this preparation before spraying it on surfaces contaminated by aphids. Repeat the operation three days later if some aphids are recalcitrant.

And since we have more than one trick up our sleeve, know that olive oil, Marseille soap or even nettle manure also do the job perfectly to help you against the invasion of aphids.
