Summary:
1. Healthy fungicide: Fungal problems can be tough to prevent in the garden. Especially if the year’s weather happens to be warm and wet. Luckily, there are some simple steps you can take to prevent fungus from taking hold. One of the easiest ways is to mix four teaspoons of baking soda with a gallon of lukewarm water.

2. Test soil: You can do a simple pH test on your soil with baking soda. Your plants absorb the minerals found in the ground through their roots. If the soil is too acidic or alkaline, it hampers this process. Conduct a simple home experiment using baking soda and vinegar to test your soil’s pH levels.

3. Revitalize your compost: Starting and maintaining your own compost pile is one of the best things you can do for your garden. The best way to prevent it from reeking and scaring your neighbors?

4. Natural ant killer: Powdered sugar and baking soda are a natural ant killer that creates a fatal bait. Mix equal amounts of both the ingredients and sprinkle over ant hills. When the ants eat the mixture, they carry it back to their nests, killing the ants within.

5. Banish sap sucking pests: Both aphids and spider mites are incredibly aggravating garden pests to deal with. And they can kill your plants. Both of these organisms suck nutrients and moisture out of the leaves of your plants, for instance, completely depleting them of their nutrients.

So you’re aware about baking soda and its  various uses inside the house in baking,   cleaning, deodorizing and a range of other  things. But did you know that it is equally   useful in the garden? Surprised? Hi  viewers and welcome back to Bestie!

There are lots of benefits to choosing baking soda  for your garden. Not only is it safer to use than   the harmful chemicals found in pesticides,  fertilizers, and other garden products,   but it’s also affordable and found at just  about every store. And in today’s video,  

We will tell you all the different ways  that you can use baking soda in your garden.   From killing crabgrass, revitalizing your  compost, cleaning plant leaves, keeping cut   flowers fresh to treating poison ivy and more,  watch till the end to learn about all of them.

Healthy fungicide: Fungal problems  can be tough to prevent in the garden.   Especially if the year’s weather  happens to be warm and wet.   Luckily, there are some simple steps you  can take to prevent fungus from taking hold.  

One of the easiest ways is to mix four teaspoons  of baking soda with a gallon of lukewarm water. Use the mixture on roses  to treat black spot fungus   or on vines and grapes as soon  as fruits begin to appear.   This baking soda concoction also works well  at preventing and treating powdery mildew,  

A disease that’s common to all kinds of plants,  but particularly squash plants. You can even   sprinkle a bit of baking soda on tomato plants,  which will prevent slugs and tomato hornworms. Are you a fan of gardening? What are the  plants, flowers or vegetables that you’ve  

Grown on your own? Tell us quickly  in the comments section down below! Test soil: You can do a simple pH  test on your soil with baking soda.   Your plants absorb the minerals found  in the ground through their roots.   If the soil is too acidic or  alkaline, it hampers this process.  

Conduct a simple home experiment using baking  soda and vinegar to test your soil’s pH levels. Place the two soil samples into small cups. Add  half cup of vinegar to one of the cups. If the   soil bubbles, the soil is alkaline. This  means it has a pH level of seven or more.  

If it doesn’t bubble, use the other  soil sample to test the acidity.   Add the baking soda to the water and  pour the solution into the second cup.   If the soil bubbles, you have acidic  soil with a pH level of seven or below.

If the test reveals that your soil is acidic,  you can amend the problem by sprinkling baking   soda over it just before you water. This  should help to reduce its acidity. Continue   to test your soil weekly until it no longer  bubbles when exposed to water and baking soda. Revitalize your compost:  

Starting and maintaining your own compost pile is  one of the best things you can do for your garden.   The best way to prevent it from  reeking and scaring your neighbors? Add a bit of baking soda. It will eliminate  the odors without stopping the beneficial  

Actions of valuable microorganisms in your  compost. If you don’t compost you’re missing out. Natural ant killer: Powdered sugar and baking  soda are a natural ant killer that creates a   fatal bait. Mix equal amounts of both the  ingredients and sprinkle over ant hills.  

When the ants eat the mixture, they carry it  back to their nests, killing the ants within.  The sugar attracts the ants, while the baking soda  kills them. Be sure to use powdered sugar and not   granulated sugar, as the ants will pick out the  granulated sugar, leaving the baking soda behind.

Banish sap sucking pests: Both aphids and spider  mites are incredibly aggravating garden pests to   deal with. And they can kill your plants. Both  of these organisms suck nutrients and moisture   out of the leaves of your plants, for instance,  completely depleting them of their nutrients.

Use baking soda to deter them. Simply combine  two cups of water with ⅔rd cup of olive oil   and a teaspoon of baking soda. Mix  the combination in a spray bottle,   then apply it to your plants. These  annoying pests will be gone in no time.

Clean plant leaves: Plants need  photosynthesis to survive and thrive.   To help your houseplants make the  most of the sunshine they receive,   keep their leaves clean by wiping them gently with  a damp sponge or soft cloth dampened with a very  

Dilute solution of baking soda and water. Add  about half a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda   to a liter of pure, filtered water to  make this gentle cleaning solution. Organic pesticide: For those of you  who are environmentally conscious,   buying chemical pesticides is  a pretty undesirable option.  

Although you don’t want your gardens to  get eaten up by bugs and other critters,   you also don’t want to risk having poison leak  into the ground or get carried into our home. Fortunately, you can make a safe and  effective pesticide with baking soda.  

All you have to do is mix a tablespoon of  olive oil, two tablespoons of baking soda   and a couple drops of liquid soap in a gallon  of water. Put it in a spray container and apply   gently to your garden every three days.  It will definitely keep the bugs away.

Get rid of patches of crabgrass:  If you don’t already know,   crabgrass are those annoying and  fibrous little chunks of grass that   seem to always grow back between  sidewalks and other problem areas. For an easy way to get rid of them so they  won’t come back, all you have to do is moisten  

The problem area and apply a thick amount  of baking soda so it turns into a paste.   Sweep the paste into any cracks and it  should wipe out any weeds you may have.   just keep it away from the grass you want.

Keep cut flowers fresh: When you bring your  flowers inside, it’s inevitable that they’re   going to die back eventually. However, you can  keep them looking gorgeous for longer if you   add a tablespoon of baking soda to a couple of  quarts of water. Change the solution every day,  

And you’ll likely find that your flowers  stay fresh twice as long as they used to. Make a plant fertilizer: Baking soda on  its own can’t be used to fertilize plants,   but you can use it with other products to make  a good replacement for fertilizers. Just combine  

1 tablespoon of epsom salt with a teaspoon of  baking soda and a half teaspoon of household   ammonia. Put this mixture into a gallon of water  and stir well. Use it once a month on your plants   by mixing a 1/8th -1/4th of the concentrate  with 4 cups of water in a watering can.

Kill cabbage worms: These little caterpillars  don’t just feast on cabbage leaves, they also love   to eat other such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts  and kale in your vegetable garden, as well.   To kill them, make a mixture of 50 percent  white flour and 50 percent baking soda.

Put this mixture into a shaker container  or a powder dispenser and dust the plants   that are infested. The leaves  of brassicas are thick and the   mixture will not do damage to them but the  caterpillars will eat it and soon die off.

Treat Poison Ivy: Anyone who spends  a lot of time out in the garden has   likely gotten a poison ivy rash. Heard  the term “leaves of three, let them be?”   Sometimes, you can find yourself  in a patch of it unknowingly. If this happens, one effective home remedy  uses baking soda. To treat poison ivy,  

Mix 1/2 cup of baking soda to some bath water and  soak in it. You can also make a paste by combining   baking soda with apple cider vinegar or water  and applying it to the rash to soothe the itch. Perk up Your Plants: Plants looking a bit  listless? Try watering them with a gallon  

Of pure, filtered water, a teaspoon of  baking soda, a teaspoon of Epsom salts,   and half a teaspoon of ammonia. They’ll be looking  healthier in no time. For regular maintenance,   you can do this as often as once a month –  roses, in particular, love this kind of TLC.

Not just for outdoors, plants are beneficial for  your health even when you keep them indoors. Want   to know how? Watch this video titled “5 Health  Benefits Of Keeping Plants In Your Home & Office” Now back to baking soda hacks for your garden.

Sweeten Tomatoes: There’s nothing that  says summer quite like biting into a fresh,   juicy tomato fresh from the garden. Baking  soda can make those tomatoes even sweeter.   Just sprinkle a bit on the soil that surrounds the  tomato plants. It will lower the acidity levels  

And make your tomatoes taste ten times better.  Just try not to get any on the plants themselves. Clean up walkways: If you have walkways that  wind through your garden or in your yard,   you can use baking soda to get them cleaned  up. Just wash the surface using 2 tablespoons  

Of baking soda per quart of warm water. For  tough stains and dirt, you can add a little   more baking soda and then use a scrub brush or  a broom with a stiff bristle to scrub it off. Remember, that you’ll need to be careful not  to spill the solution on your flower beds,  

Or get it onto your lawn. This is  because a high concentration of   baking soda is likely to burn  your wanted grass and plants. Insect repellent spray: Add 1 teaspoon baking  soda and 1/3rd cup mustard oil to a plastic or   glass container with a tightly-fitting  lid. Now stir the ingredients to mix.  

Return the top to the jar and  store at room temperature. When ready to use, mix two tablespoons of  the dry mixture to one cup warm water in a   plastic or glass spray bottle. Shake to mix.  Spray the solution around any area where you  

Want to get rid of unwanted bugs and as  an effective mosquito repellent spray. How often do you garden? What  are your favourite garden plants?   Let us know in the comments section below!
