Put Baking Soda On Your Garden Plants and This will Happen

  • You probably have at least one box of baking soda in your home - if you’re like so many other Americans, it’s most likely sitting in your refrigerator as a way to combat odors, and you might have another carton in your pantry for baking. But there are so many other uses for it, from household cleaning and health to gardening, you might want to go out and purchase at least a couple more.
    Here is what baking soda can do to your garden.
    1.Get more beautiful blooms.
    For flowers that thrive in alkaline soil, such as hydrangeas, begonias, and geraniums, you can encourage them to bloom magnificently by using baking soda. Just dissolve a little baking soda in your water before giving them their regular drink. Also to keep your cut flowers fresh for a long time put a teaspoon of baking soda in the vase.
    2. Sweeter Tomatoes.
    Sprinkle a small amount of baking-soda around the base of your tomato plants. The baking soda will be absorbed into the soil and lowers the acidity level of tomatoes, thus gives you sweeter than tart flavor.
    3.Give Plants a Boost.
    Mix together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon clear ammonia and 1 teaspoon Epsom salt in a gallon of water. Mix well and give each plant about a quart of the solution. This solution will work as a fertilizer, the plants that are looking dull, and growing slowly will perk up, rejuvenate their growth and become lush green.
    4.Use it as a Pesticide.
    Use baking soda to effectively reduce infestations of many insects such as aphids, scales, and the spider mites. It may not kill them all but have a repellent action and halt their progress.
    Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/3 cup of olive or mustard oil. Measure out 2 teaspoons of this mix and add it to 1 cup of water. Mix it well together and spray it on the infected plants.
    5.Smelly compost.
    To keep the smell from a compost pile under control, use a small amount of baking soda which will eliminate the odor and prevent acidity build up - just use it sparingly as too much can slow the composting process.
    6.Kill crabgrass and discourage weeds.
    If you have weeds or crabgrass growing in cracks on sidewalks, edges, patios or garden beds, you can use baking soda to get rid of them. It’s able to kill small weeds that have already sprouted, as well as to prevent new weeds from coming up. It will burn unwanted foliage, and feeds should disappear within just a few days. Just pour a thick layer onto the weeds and crabgrass after moistening it with water. Sweep the baking soda in a thick layer into any concrete cracks.
    7.Test Soil pH.
    Take some soil on a dish and make it muddier. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda onto the soil. If the combination bubbles, your soil is acidic.

    Trust me, baking soda actually really works on plants that have LOTS of pesticides on them and All the plants in my Mom's garden grew so fast within 3 days. I only used it ONCE with 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 3 and 1/2 cups of tap water. I was so shocked that the squash seeds that I seeded in the little potting grew so freaking fast after I sprayed the baking soda water!!!! Surprisingly my Mom told me it was very Luscious! Oh my Goodness! Thank GOODNESS!!! It is Unbelievably Beautiful to SEE and know this solution and SUCH A Relief, such a FREAKING Relief!!! Because, boy oh boy, those little pests were so MUCH to deal with! Yes, use baking soda water on the soil and leaves that have those micro-sized pests, Once a week. I am going to try this for my own Head hair Once every week too (PINCH of baking soda and Himalayan pink sea salt into a cup of water). Keep up the Healing FAITH, GRATITUDE JOURNAL, and PRAYERS, because that was what I did daily! Good LUCK and Sovereignty Remain with All! Thank you ALL for the Healing Truth.

      Mimi Freda I find that hydrangeas do wonderful in part shade that only gets morning or evening sun when its not at its strongest. Maybe the side of your home that's in an East or West direction that's shaded from high noon. Just as long as its not north (no sun) or south (too much sun) I had the same experience when I had them in noon day sun.. facing south west...their delicate leaves could not handle full sun. Also, they loved acidic soil with a punch of fertilizer every few months. I hope that helps :).

      Adriana DIY tomatoes are easy. Plant them mid may through spring, in a sunny spot, with enough room to grow and spread out. Stake them up as they grow, and wait a few weeks 😊 I don't add fertilizer or anything whilst they are growing, but during the winter months I throw my food scraps out onto that garden so they can decompose and this make a nicer soil for vegies to grow in once summer appears.
      Another thing I do, once the tomatoes are growing, I cut off the big "canopy" leaves to let the sunlight onto the tomatoes. This helps them ripen and sweeten..

  • @joyceobeys6818
    @joyceobeys6818 4 года назад

    The soil is depleted of minerals usually. Epsom salt, molasses and minerals cause plants to grow like crazy, also fully raw organic milk can cause more blooms but not a lot of it or it could cause a little overwhelming the plant. Most weeds are good for food. I don’t use baking soda. I have used diluted vinegar but it has to be very diluted. Boiling hot water kills grass or whatever it is you are wanting to get rid of. But whatever that hot water touches is what it kills.
