The gardener's season season is devoted to the cultivation of berries, fruits and vegetables in his plot. But an invasion of hordes of pests can stand in the way of obtaining an excellent harvest. The desire to get not only a big, but also a chemically pure crop prompts the use of folk recipes to protect cultural plantations. These are decoctions of herbs and vegetables; many of the recipes that have been tested for several decades have insecticidal or fungicidal properties.
Tobacco dust
For the use of tobacco and tobacco dust, there are many recipes, some of them indicate not tobacco, but its type - tobacco.
Option 1:
The use of tobacco dust in gardening against pests that live on fruit trees. To do this, populated with pests insects pollinate tobacco dust on the leaf. You can save a tree only with tobacco dust, but to enhance the effect, it is usually used with lime fluff in equal parts. 
Option # 2:
In the period of the mass summer of the nursery and the aphid invasion of apple orchards, it is recommended to fumigate the garden. It is advisable to carry out the procedure in calm and calm weather in the evening. Dry chips are set on fire in the iron tank. When the fire breaks out, tobacco dust is poured into the fire, which contributes to the appearance of suffocating puffs of smoke with a specific smell. The container in turn is brought under an insect-infested tree for half an hour. 
Option # 3:
To prepare the tincture is taken one liter of dry tobacco dust or ground tobacco, which must be mixed with 10 liters of boiling water and stand for a day. 
Important! Vegetables do not like monoplanting, need an annual crop rotation. If you change the location of the beds, the vegetables will grow larger and the bed will not be populated by pests of this crop wintering in the soil. After the tomatoes, you can sow the bed with dill, and after the cucumbers, plant the cauliflower.
Ash
Ash is used to prepare insecticides in dry form and in the form of solutions.
For the convenience of plant growers, here are a few detailed recipes.

Sunflower oil
Vegetable oil from sunflower is added by gardeners to home-made insecticidal tinctures, as an adhesive and flavoring, when struggling with adult insects. Vegetable oil envelops the airways and the wings of a pest that escaped from an insecticidal trap; this insect will certainly die over time. 
Vegetable oil is also added to liquid aromatic traps, arranged by gardeners at the foot or on the branches of fruit trees.
Kefir
Kefir is a fermented milk product, with its help gardeners also struggle with the manifestation of fungal infections in solanaceous crops. In kefir are lactic acid bacteria and fungi, they inhibit fungi with phytophthora spores. Kefir bacteria themselves serve as a fertilizer for cucumbers.
If it is visually visible that cucumber beds are oppressed and the plants do not grow well, their leaf covering starts to turn yellow, then to stop leaf dying, the two-liter kefir package is poured into 10 liters of water. This mixture is shaken and cucumber leaves are sprayed with a homemade, grassy broom. 
An excellent sheet top dressing for adult tomato bushes is such a talker: liter bag of kefir diluted in a bucket of water.

An example of such a successful neighborhood: cabbage and marigolds, marigolds scare the whitefish, carrot and onion to frighten away carrot and onion flies, cucumbers and dill from a neighbor in the garden beds.
Milk serum
Gardeners and gardeners use the serum remaining during the fermentation of sour milk as one of the measures in the fight against late blight. Serum has established itself as a successful fighter against fungal diseases in tomatoes and grapes. Whey contains many mineral supplements and fertilizes grown crops. Serum is applied by spraying over the sheet. Usually it is not sprayed through a sprayer, but applied to the vegetative mass of plants by irrigating over the leaf. 
Serum is used in the form of a water solution:
- for feeding under the plant root - one liter of whey is added to 10 liters of water;
- for foliar application, a solution of the same concentration is made; the leaves of the culture are sprayed with it.
There are several similar recipes, each of which uses serum.
Recipe # 1.
For such feeding you need to use a large old barrel or another deep container. 2/3 of chicken manure shovels are poured with 2-3 buckets of water, half a bucket of wood ash, 500 g of fresh, non-frozen yeast are added to the same place.

Yeast is used as a fertilizer for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers.
When watering, 1 liter of concentrate is taken under the root of the fertilized crops and added to a ten-liter bucket of pure water. When fertilizing it is necessary to take into account that for each fertilized plant a rate of 0.5 liters of the already diluted solution should be used.
Recipe # 2.

Barrel to the top is poured with water, covered with a lid and left to ferment. Barrel set in a sunny place. The fermentation process is considered completed in 14-20 days. For fertilizer, the resulting slush is diluted one to one with pure water. On one plant you need 0.5 liters of diluted solution for feeding under the root.
Recipe # 3.
On 3 l of whey add seven and a half tablespoons of honey, shaken and insist hour. Next, add 20 drops of iodine and 500 g of ash. The solution is again mixed and left for two days to insist. Apply as root dressing, without diluting. This solution is very effective in preplant preparation of seeds for sowing.
Garlic
With the help of garlic, plant growers effectively fight against the domination of aphids, fruit mites, and suckers. Also, solutions of garlic are effective in the form of natural fungicides on tomatoes, peppers, and grapes. 
Option 1.
This garlic tincture is used for spraying plants from leaf pests. To prepare such a tincture, two large heads of garlic are passed through a garlicker, this mass is added to a bucket of cold water. The liquid is well mixed and left to infuse.

Infusion is ready to eat, they are treated with berry bushes, vegetable beds, fruit trees.
Onion Husk
Onion peel is a natural, organic fertilizer for plants and at the same time, an insecticide:

Eggshell
Dried egg shells are used by gardeners to feed plants with calcium. To do this, it is poured into the planting pit in a crushed state when disembarking vegetable crops to a permanent place.
Simultaneously with the functions of feeding, the crushed eggshell repels the bear. Wishing to gnaw the stem of a young plant, Medvedka encounters the sharp edges of the shell, experiencing discomfort, the insect retreats.
