Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, which promotes healthy plant growth.
Sprinkle them around your garden or mix them into compost to improve soil structure and attract earthworms. They also deter pests like slugs and snails.
💡 Avoid using too much, as it can acidify your soil.
5. Dish Soap Spray for Aphid Control
Dish soap breaks down aphids’ protective layers, causing them to dehydrate.
Mix 1 tablespoon of mild dish soap with 1 quart of water and spray directly on affected plants.
Repeat every few days until aphids disappear. Avoid soaps with added dyes or fragrances.
6. Cornmeal to Prevent Weeds
Cornmeal acts as a pre-emergent herbicide, preventing seeds from germinating.
Sprinkle a thin layer on your soil in early spring before weeds emerge.
It’s safe for pets and kids, and won’t harm existing plants or beneficial insects.
7. Epsom Salt for Plant Growth
Epsom salt contains magnesium and sulfur, essential for healthy plant development.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon in a gallon of water and use it to water your plants once a month.
It’s especially great for tomatoes, peppers, and roses, boosting blooms and fruiting. Don’t overuse—it may disrupt soil balance.
8. Lemon Juice to Deter Pests
