19. Use matches to get rid of aphids
Matches can also be used to chase off aphids. Put matches upside down in the ground. The sulfur in a match keeps the aphids away. In a small pot just one match will do the trick. In larger pots or in the ground you should to put one match every 10 to 15 centimeters in a circle around the plant. You’ll have to replace the matches once a month; rainwater will cause the sulfur to dissolve.
20. Help bees with a spoonful of sugar
The British biologist Sir David Attenborough recently shared that the world’s bee popular has declined by a third in the past few years. The repercussions are much larger than you’d imagine because if bees disappear then humans will only have about four years left to live. This has to do with their essential role in the pollination of crops, from which we reap the benefits. Thanks to the bees, we can grow apples, strawberries, tomatoes, berries, peppers, and other fruits and vegetables.
