Homemade tomato spray: Fight gray mold with dandelions and garlic

Growing your vegetable garden has many benefits. However, some species present quite a challenge. How can you take care of tomatoes exposed to gray mold? It turns out that a homemade spray with a surprising ingredient is the perfect protection.

Many landowners decide to establish vegetable gardens. Growing your vegetables and fruits has numerous benefits, although, let’s not hide it, it is time-consuming.

Today, we are focusing on growing tomatoes. How can you care for seedlings so they are not attacked by gray mold? This disease poses a huge challenge for anyone who grows their tomatoes, even once.

Tomatoes should be sprayed with the mixture below before they start blooming. This way, we’ll tackle the problem of fungi and molds right from the start. All you need is 1.5 gallons of water and 9 ounces of dandelion!

We start by boiling the dandelion leaves in a water-filled pot for an hour. After this time, set the infusion aside to cool. Then, pour the substance into a spray bottle. Spray your seedlings this way to reduce the risk of mold attacks.

When mold attacks ornamental plants, we can immediately use store-bought chemicals. However, choosing a natural remedy for vegetables, shrubs, or fruit trees is safer. What if gray mold has already attacked your tomato seedlings? Here comes a garlic mixture.

First, crush about 3.5 ounces of garlic to release its juice. Then, pour 1.5 gallons of water over it and set everything aside for five days. Stir daily. After the designated time, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the affected plants.

Onions have a similar effect. In this case, chop 9 ounces of onions and pour just one gallon of water over them. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook the vegetables for another 30 minutes. After cooling, spray the plants affected by mold with this mixture.
