In the Colorado potato beetle without chemicals


 It so happened that the garden has become the basis of a potato, a major scourge for him - the Colorado potato beetle. Every year for the replacement of old chemical drugs come more and more. And everyone chooses for himself that he is better: lots of potatoes and which may remain Chemistry, or a little less but without chemistry. According to this, many people ischut traditional methods of struggle.
 Method one: as soon as weather permits, land in several places in the garden early potatoes. Since the beetle is hungry after the winter we will meet it. It remains to collect the beetles and then destroy. To trap does not become a breeding ground. You can still donate eggplant seedlings, placing it among the potatoes. Eggplant - a delicacy for the beetle.
 The second way: as soon as the potatoes will rise, pritrusit leaves cornmeal. A hungry beetle will consume leaves with flour. Flour, swollen in the middle of the beetle will kill him.

 The third way: the planting hole to throw in a few seeds of legumes (beans or peas). Since its odor pulses repel Colorado potato beetle. He also did not like the smell of tansy, horseradish and coriander.
 You can not argue that these methods of fighting, more effective chemicals. But why not try on their land.
