Natural Slug Repellant



Garlic! 

Garlic repels slugs from your garden :)



I had extra reusable produce bags that I used to create garlic rings.
You can plop out the old garlic and reinfuse them with new ones
by cutting a small slot in between the plastic.


These are perfect for hanging from trees


or... putting at the base of a tree


Garlic at the edge of potted plants.


And Voila, for around the garden plot too :)


This plot also has hot chili powder and egg shells to deter slugs and ants.

Also planting mint around your garden deters slugs.

Bonus: Ants hate the garlic as well. 
I hung the garlic rings on the apple trees 
and watched as the ants squirmed away :)
A win for everyone!

Best Natural Ant Repellent


Ants have been destroying my veggie garden. It's awful. However, after much research and testing, I've devised a perfect formula to help us all get them out.


  
You will need:
Ground Cinnamon
Ground Garlic Powder
Ground Clove
1 Mason Jar
2 Mason Jar Lids
1 Screwdriver, or something to poke holes
1 Hammer
(Cute Slippers are Optional)


Add in equal parts of Cinnamon, Garlic Powder, and Clove
into the Mason Jar


Put the lid on and shake all the ingredients together.



Use the Hammer and Screwdriver to hammer in holes into the Mason Jar.


Your shaker is now ready for use.

Put this mixture around the base of the plant to deter ants.
Ensure that you aren't putting on directly on to the leaves.
Direct contact with leaves may cause damage on tender plants.

You can use the extra lid to put on top of the shaker lid 
to keep a tight seal for when you store the mixture :)
