ZT:How to Garden With Vinegar (白醋。供参考,后果自负!)

Steps
[*]http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/7/7d/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-1.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-1.jpg
1
Spray it where you need it. First of all, for those of you who are plagued by pests and little critters in the garden, fret no more. It will keep cats at bay if you spray in areas you want to deter them, particularly that sand-pit you may have in the garden for the children but those cats will insist on using as their own private toilet! Heavily spray full-strength vinegar around the edges of the sandpit and remember to re-apply after it rains.

2
For rabbits, soak corncobs. Are those rabbits eating your vegetables, particularly your beans and peas? Soak corncobs in full strength vinegar for a couple of hours until they are thoroughly soaked. You may even soak them over-night if you wish. Then place the cobs strategically around your veggie patch. They will keep rabbits away for as long as you re-soak your corncobs every two weeks.[*]http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/5/55/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-3.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-3.jpg
3
Spray the thresholds to get rid of ants. Do you have an ant problem? Again you can apply this full-strength to the ants and they will not come anywhere near the stuff. This is very useful if you find a trail of them making a way into your house. Just spray the thresholds and reapply every couple of days to ensure that they stay away.[*]http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/5/56/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-4.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-4.jpg
4
Use as an eco-friendly insecticide. Slugs are real pests, because they eat both vegetables, especially lettuces and plants, especially hostas. In this case, vinegar acts as a poison to the slugs because, if you spray slugs with it directly, they will die. You can treat snails in exactly the same way. However, because vinegar is also a herbicide, be careful where you spray your vinegar. Salvia, for example, will die if accidentally sprayed.[*]http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/8/83/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-5.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-5.jpg
5
Save your fruit trees. Are your fruit trees being invaded by fruit flies? Try this fruit fly bait, which is deadly and effective. Take 1 cup of water, a half a cup of cider vinegar, a quarter of a cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of molasses. Mix it all together. Take old tin cans without their lids and make two holes in opposite ends for wire handles. Attach the handles and add an inch of the mixture to each can. Hang 2 - 3 tins in each tree. Check on the traps on a regular basis to refill and clean when necessary.[*]http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/8/80/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-6.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-6.jpg
6
Protect your tools. After you have been digging in the garden with your gardening tools, soak them in a bucket of half-strength vinegar. This will act as a fungicide and kill off anything that may be lurking unsuspectingly so that there is no possibility of cross-contamination when you use them next.[*]http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-7.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-7.jpg
7
Use as a fungicide. Are your garden plants struggling and your roses suffering from black spot or other fungal diseases? Take 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and mix it with 4 litres of compost tea. Now spray your garden plants with this mixture and see the difference. For roses, the method is slightly different. Take 3 tablespoons of cider vinegar, and mix it with 4 litres of water to control those fungal diseases. Of course, don't forget the compost tea either on your roses to get the best results. For powdery mildew take 2-3 tablespoons of cider vinegar and mix with 4 litres of water and spray your plants. This will help control the problem.[*]http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/7/73/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-8.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-8.jpg
8
Increase the soil's acidity. What about your acid-living plants like azaleas, gardenias and rhododendrons? Are they flowering as well as they could be? If not increase the soil's acidity. In hard water areas, add 1 cup of vinegar to 4 litres of tap water. It will also release iron into the soil for the plants to use. And if you have too much lime in your garden, add vinegar to neutralize it.[*]http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/2/2b/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-9.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-9.jpg
9
Use to fight inappropriate grass or weeds. Do you have weeds coming up in between your paving slabs on our driveway or pathway that you cannot remove by hand? Don't use a herbicide that is known to damage the environment. Use an eco-friendly alternative instead. Take 1 litre of boiled water, 2 tablespoons of salt and 5 tablespoons of vinegar. Mix it all together, and while it's still hot, pour onto the offending plants.[*]http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-10.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-10.jpg
10
Improve germination. Did you know that you can improve your germination success rate of seeds by using vinegar? This is especially useful for those seeds that are more difficult to germinate such as asparagus and okra, morning glories and moonflowers. Rub the seeds gently first between two pieces of coarse sandpaper. Then soak the seeds overnight in 500 ml of warm water, 125 ml of vinegar and a squirt of washing-up liquid. Plant the next day as normal. You can use the same method, but without the sandpaper for nasturtiums, parsley, beetroot, and parsnips.[*]http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/a/a2/Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-11.jpg/670px-Garden-With-Vinegar-Step-11.jpg

Stop the hen pecking. And finally, are your chickens pecking each other? Add a tablespoon of cider vinegar to their drinking water, and they will stop!

我猜是白醋

maobei 发表于 2014-8-8 22:23:30

我也觉得是白醋。

好文章,感谢分享。我一直使用白醋来增加盆栽土的酸性,但没有用过这麽高的浓度。看来以后可以试着把现在使用的浓度再提高一些。

lapine 发表于 2014-8-9 07:32:54

超市卖的白醋都是 full-strength vinegar 吗?

说实话,我还从未买过白醋呢。:-$

    应该是。有朋友试过除杂草,基本没用。感觉文章写得有点过,但是还是好主意

感谢加分。您介绍了这么好的文章,应该给您加分才对。我看到很多地栽的杜鹃有黄化现象,有了您这篇文章,纠正土壤碱性又多了新方法。
还得向您请教一个问题。我测过植物园杜鹃栽种区域土壤的PH值,大概在4.8-5.5之间,而其他地方的土壤都高于7.5。他们采用了什么方法,能在这么大的面积上把土壤的ph值降得那么低?

市场上出售的西人白醋,含量都是5%。养栀子、西洋鹃、茉莉、米兰和柑橘类盆花是少不了西人白醋的。

谢谢!收藏。

也许对某些草管用。最起码改善了酸碱度,对喜酸性植物有帮助。

种花用的醋不含盐就可以。不过几乎所有的中国醋都含盐,要仔细检查标签。
