Popular rumor assures that a kitchen sponge in the garden can be used more widely than in the kitchen.

With its help, experienced summer residents quickly and without hassle germinate seeds for seedlings, and also fight pests, not only with small insects, but even with moles.

Let's talk about how to use a kitchen sponge in the garden and in the garden.

Seed germination

Sponges on polyurethane foam are suitable for this. To begin with, you just need to wet it well, so that water drips from it, and put it on a plate.

Then take the seeds and place each seed in a separate hole and cover with a transparent lid.

The design is placed in a plastic bag and placed in a warm place.

Pest control

A kitchen sponge will help get rid of aphids.

To do this, you need to moisten it in any suitable insecticide and blot the branch with pests.

If the material is plentifully treated with kerosene or other chemical substance with a persistent odor, then it can be used to combat moles.

It is enough to roll the sponge into a roll and push it deeper into the hole left by the underground dweller.

In the same way, mice can be driven out of the house, for which the sponge must be soaked with birch tar and placed in the rodent's hole.
