🐜 For pests...
✔️ Diatomaceous Earth – a chemical-free powder safe to use inside & outside that dries out bugs safely (just avoid near vents!) ✔️ Neem or Thyme Oil – great as a non toxic insecticide for outdoor plants ✔️ DIY spicy bug spray – mix water + a few drops of dish soap + 1 tbsp hot sauce = bugs and grasshoppers be gone 🌶️ ✔️ Copper-sulfate based spray – for fungal plant diseases
🌱 For non toxic weed killer...
Mix: ½ gal white vinegar (20% acetic acid) 1 tbsp natural dish soap ½ cup salt (optional—only where you never want plants to grow)
