Frequently asked gardening related questions
Natural repellents often work by scent or taste to deter pests without harming them. Examples include garlic or chilli pepper sprays (for aphids, slugs), planting strong-smelling herbs like mint or rosemary as a barrier, or using citrus peels around vulnerable plants. Physical deterrents like crushed eggshells around tender seedlings can also repel slugs and snails. The key is to apply regularly and understand the specific pest you are trying to deter.
