How to avoid snail-infestation in a small organic garden
Hii mvua ni God-sent but with it comes the threat of fungal & bug infestation 🐛 🪲 especially snails 🐌 that eat their way into every vegetative 🥬 matter, causing havoc and ruining harvests.
Here are 5 ways of keeping your garden snail-free:-
-
Sprinkle coffee grounds around the base of stalks of plants ☘️
-
Sprinkle crushed egg-shells🥚 to deter the slimy beings.
-
Put out a container of beer 🍺 to attract snails and deter them frm accessing your plants
-
Coat the base of your plants with vaseline so that the pests can slide right off and prevent them frm chewing onto the leaves and stalks of the plants.
-
Mulch the base of your plants with seaweed-their salty content will naturally repel snails 🐌
Works esp for organic small gardens, big farms will require large scale interventions.
