If these problems sound familiar, there’s a simple, 100% natural solution: an infusion of garlic and cinnamon. Inexpensive and easy to prepare, this decoction acts as a powerful natural disinfectant for your plants.

Why is garlic so effective?

Garlic has been recognized for centuries for its antifungal, antibacterial and insecticidal properties. Thanks to its sulfur compounds, it acts as a natural repellent against many pests, while protecting plants against certain cryptogamic diseases.

Bonus idea? Combine garlic with cinnamon! Cinnamon also has antifungal properties, making the decoction even more effective for a healthy garden.
