The rainy season is when many microorganisms thrive and cause harm in your vegetable garden or simply create discomfort in your living space. During this time, with just a little salt, you can do many significant things to clean up your garden and living space. Here are some amazing benefits of salt:
Prevent Ants and Termites During Rainy Days
Find the path of the ants and sprinkle salt along their trail. When they encounter salt, ants will hesitate, change direction, and stop entering your house. You can also proactively prevent them by sprinkling salt around the house or on windowsills so that ants can’t get in.
Fixing Walls
To seal nail holes or cracks in plaster walls, mix 2 tablespoons of salt with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and about 5 tablespoons of water, and use the mixture to fill the gaps.
Eliminate Leaf Spot Bugs on Ornamental Plants
Common vegetables, fruits, or ornamental plants often suffer from black or white leaf spot pests, which appear as rash-like marks densely covering the leaves, affecting plant growth and yield. You’ll be surprised to learn that this seemingly hard-to-cure issue can be easily resolved with salt. Dissolve 1 cup of salt in 1 liter of warm water, then pour it into a spray bottle and spray directly on the affected areas every two days, and your plants will quickly recover.
Effectively Kill Snails if You Grow Vegetables at Home
Snails often cause headaches for vegetable gardeners, as they destroy greens. If you grow your own vegetables at home, you can sprinkle salt on the soil to prevent snails from crawling onto your plants. If you spot snails, you can directly sprinkle salt on them to eliminate them quickly.
Neutralize Bad Luck
In feng shui, salt is believed to absorb negative energy and bring positive, pure energy to both people and living spaces. Sprinkling salt around the outside of your house or at entryways helps block negative energy and cleanse the air entering your home. Sprinkle a little salt on the floor at night and sweep it away in the morning; it is thought that salt helps ward off evil spirits and protects your family.
