SECRET BAKING SODA HACK - The Most Powerful Organic Pesticide Mixture

Ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon of baking soda

- 1/3 cup of olive oil or cooking oil

- 1 cup of water

Directions:

Combine the baking soda, olive oil, and water in a spray bottle. Secure the lid and shake the bottle thoroughly to mix the ingredients.

This homemade spray is effective against pests like aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies, but it is gentle on beneficial insects. It's suitable for use on a wide range of vegetables and flowers.

Additional Baking Soda Pest Control Tips:

- Rabbit Deterrent: Lightly sprinkle baking soda around your flower beds occasionally. This can help keep rabbits away from nibbling on your plants.

- Ant Removal: For outdoor ant problems, sprinkle baking soda directly onto damp ant mounds. Wait about 30 minutes, then pour a small amount of vinegar over the mound. The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar is lethal to ants due to their inability to process the combination.

- Slug Control: To combat slugs in your garden, sprinkle baking soda directly on the plants affected. The baking soda will dehydrate and kill the slugs quickly.

Companion Gardening Plan

 

Spring is in full swing and that means it's a great time to start thinking about where you will get fresh produce from this year!

CSA's are a great option for consumers looking for tasty, fresh and LOCAL veggies, bread and eggs all summer long. CSA’s directly connect local farmers to local eaters and allows the wider local community to participate more closely in the food systems we all rely on.

Did you know that joining your local farm’s CSA can also help support farmers by taking away some of the guesswork about how many consumers they will have for the food they produce? It also gives them an infusion of funds at the beginning of the growing season so they can invest in making their crops really great!
