10/A garlic-based mix to fight pests

So when using it, alternate with Epsom salt in your watering can. Crush one clove of garlic for every 3 liters of water. You can also plant garlic bulbs near your plants.

It is advisable to change the location of your plants from time to time. Indeed, the soil is gradually depleted of nutrients, the latter being absorbed by the plants and after a while, your plants will have difficulties growing and continue to be in good health. Consequently, it is recommended to change their place every two years by uprooting them. This is a time-consuming process but well worth it.
