Reviews
I tried a hundred different ways using shop suppliesbut she was afraid to resort to the help of cola. Although I read a lot of good things about this method, I still had doubts. Drink decided to dilute the solution, which is made from tar soap. Processing carried out in the evenings. Carefully sprayed each leaf from a spray bottle. Two weeks later, the bushes came to life, and the pests from their branches disappeared.

Read only good reviews on the use of Coca-Cola in the garden. Many diluted it with water or soapy water. I decided to use a clean drink. Before use, he poured it into a large saucepan and mixed it thoroughly so that all the “gaziki” would come out and then return it back to the bottle. Processing was carried out using a sprayer. I saw the first results on the second day.

Coca-Cola is an effective and inexpensive means. With regular treatment, it eliminates the bushes from pests in two weeks. The tool can be used as a prophylaxis, but it can damage the young leaves. For spraying delicate sheets it is diluted with water or soapy water.
