Todayโs harvest: Beetroot!
My first-ever beetroot harvest grown completely the organic way โ no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, just patience and nature doing its magic.
The secret? Homemade compost to nourish the soil and a simple DIY pest spray made from garlic, turmeric, chili, and neem oil to keep unwanted visitors away.
One of the fascinating things Iโve recently learned is that companion planting can be a natural way to manage pests. Planting garlic and herbs like mint and basil around your fruit and vegetable plants may help deter many common garden pests while creating a healthier and more diverse garden ecosystem.
Nature often has its own solutions โ sometimes the best pest control is simply choosing the right plants to grow together! ๐ฑ๐
