SEAL HOLES WITH ASH PASTE AND CRUSHED GARLIC
SELLAR ORIFICIOS CON PASTA DE CENIZA Y AJO MACHACADO
How does it work?
Sealing holes with ash paste and crushed garlic is a natural technique used to combat pests such as borers and borers that bore into stems and trunks. This mixture acts as a repellent and physical barrier. The ash helps dry and protect the wound, while the garlic has insecticidal properties that scare away insects. By applying the paste directly into the holes, it prevents the larvae from continuing to advance and promotes the recovery of the plant tissue.
How is it prepared?
To prepare the pasta you need:
- 5 tablespoons of wood ash
- 3 large cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of water
Recipe:
1. Crush the garlic cloves well until you obtain a paste.
2. Mix with the ash in a container.
3. Add the water little by little until it forms a thick and homogeneous paste.
4. Use immediately after preparing.
How to apply it?
- Apply the paste directly to the holes made by the insects.
- Make sure to cover each entrance well with a thick layer.
- Use a stick or small spatula to facilitate application.
- Repeat the application every 7 days if pest activity persists.
- Apply on dry days to prevent rain from washing away the mixture.
