4. Using garlic against slugs

Do snails regularly feed off your plants? There is a natural solution that you can use to chase snails out of your garden. All you need is garlic. Snails do not like the pungent smell of this herb. The moment the mollusks smell the smell of garlic, they’ll stay away from the garlic cloves or bulbs.

What to do?

• Crush two whole garlic bulbs and put them in a bowl or bucket.
• Boil 1 liter of water and pour it over the crushed garlic bulbs and let it sit for 20 minutes.
• Carefully pour the water into a spray bottle (making sure the water has cooled enough).
• Spray the plants that are being eaten by snails with the garlic water and you will notice the snails start to disappear. Nice and easy!

5. Get rid of green buildup on your fence with green soap

Green buildup on the fence is a pain in the butt for many people. Thankfully you don’t have to buy expensive cleaning supplies to get all the buildup off. What will you need? Green soap, baking soda, and warm water. This combination works perfectly against green buildup, algae, and moss on your fence.

What do you need to do?

• Dissolve 50 grams of green soap and 50 grams of soda into 5 liters of water.
• Rub a bit of the mixture onto your fence and let it sit.
• Scrub the fence with a medium-hard brush. Watch out: don’t use a steel brush, this could damage the wood.
• Covered all of your fence? Rinse it off with water and your fence is as good as new.
