10. Use Cinnamon to Fight Off Mosquitoes

Here’s another tip to fight off mosquitoes: sprinkle cinnamon around the plants in the garden where you see lots of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes – and other insects too – don’t like this smell. They also keep their distance from plants that smell like cinnamon.

11. Put a used tea bag in the garden

It’s a pretty grueling chore to germinate seeds in the soil – even when you take good care of the soil. You can help the process move more quickly by placing a tea bag in the soil next to the seeds. Tea leaves have tannins and nutrients that are natural fertilizers for the soil. The pouch itself is made from fibers from the stems of the abaca plant. This is a type of banana that provides fiber and is used to make tea bags. The tea dissolves easily in the soil, creating a healthier growing environment for your flowers and plants.

You can also use tea bags to prevent other pests.

12. Keeping pests away with a tea bag

Used tea bags, as well as coffee grounds, help keep pests away from your flowers and plants. Most pests don’t like the smell of coffee and tea. Place a used tea bag near your prized plants to prevent them from being eaten.

You can also throw a tea bag in your compost. The acids in the tea can accelerate the decomposition process of the compost. This means that you can use the compost for your garden much sooner. You and your garden will both be happy!

13. Use aspirin to give your plants a boost

Did you know that using aspirin is a miracle worker when it comes to keeping pests away from your plants? Dissolve one aspirin in four liters of water and water your plants as you normally would. The aspirin water also ensures that your plants get a ‘health boost’, so that they will not get sick quickly.
