18. Use a banana peel against aphids

Aphids don’t like the smell of banana. So don’t throw away your banana peel the next time you eat one. Cut the peel up into pieces and then place the peel next to the plant that has aphids on it. Chances are they will be gone a few days later.

19. Use matches to get rid of aphids

Matches can also be used to chase off aphids. Put matches upside down in the ground. The sulfur in a match keeps the aphids away. In a small pot just one match will do the trick. In larger pots or in the ground you should to put one match every 10 to 15 centimeters in a circle around the plant. You’ll have to replace the matches once a month; rainwater will cause the sulfur to dissolve.

20. Help bees with a spoonful of sugar

The British biologist Sir David Attenborough recently shared that the world’s bee popular has declined by a third in the past few years. The repercussions are much larger than you’d imagine because if bees disappear then humans will only have about four years left to live. This has to do with their essential role in the pollination of crops, from which we reap the benefits. Thanks to the bees, we can grow apples, strawberries, tomatoes, berries, peppers, and other fruits and vegetables.

The biologist is asking people to sprinkle a spoonful of sugar in the garden. What’s the best thing way to do this?

“Bees can become tired and they simply don’t have enough energy to return to the hive, which can often result in being swept away. An exhausted bee can regain strength with a mixture of sugar and water. Mix two tablespoons to do so. White granulated sugar with a tablespoon of water and put it in a place that is accessible to the bee,” the biologist shared on Facebook.

He finishes off by saying that he hopes that this will make people aware of these important findings. So from now on just sprinkle some sugar in the garden!
