Survival plants don’t require pesticides and herbicides. Still, there are alternative options to ensure you get the most out of your survival garden. In this article, find some of the alternatives to pesticides and herbicides.
Composting
To supplement the nutrients your plants suck up, you can embark on a composting mission. Spread all kinds of organic dirt on your garden instead of relying on the inorganic manure. Here, food waste, chicken waste, and similar trash will do the magic and can significantly increase your yield.
Hand Weeding
Weeds are such a killer to plants now as they share the little nutrients available. While herb
icides are commonly used in conventional farming, the Food and Agriculture Organization doesn’t recommend them. Also, it beats the logic of growing these plants in the first place. You can consider hand weeding as an alternative.
Scarecrows
To keep away the rodents and other animals that come to destroy your plants, set up a few scarecrows, and the creatures won’t come anywhere near your garden. Another solution is installing traps which may catch these intruders.
The above are simple ways to get the most out of your survival garden. Just keep it simple as survival plants are survivors themselves.
