I’m a gardening whizz – the 20p kitchen staple that will instantly stop insects from infesting your plants and flowers
EVERY year many of us slave away in the garden to get it looking in top condition for those warm summer days.
Planting new flowers and plants, ensuring the patio looking perfect and sprucing the area up with some new purchases from budget shops… It’s a big project to undertake, but so worth it in the end.
But this all comes crashing down if bugs and insects begin infesting the new greenery in your backyard.
What’s worse is it seems almost impossible to get rid of them.
Luckily, one man has revealed his clever method to ensure they come nowhere near your plants and you probably already have what you need.
Taking to his social media, Armen Adamjan explained: “Check out this quick little trick to get rid of bugs in your plants.”
He then instructed viewers to grab cinnamon from their spice cupboards to “sprinkle it around your plants”.
“Cinnamon will actually prevent those gnats from appearing and other kinds of bugs,” he shared.
“Even squirrels and other kind of animals will stay away from your plants.”
Not only that, but according to TikTok user @creative_explained, cinnamon also has anti-fungal properties, which “will help prevent diseases in your plants”.
He added that sprinkling cinnamon, which costs just 20p from the Refill Store, on seedlings will “encourage their growth”
“GARDEN MAGIC,” he wrote in the caption as many people flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on his nifty hack.
One person wrote: “Cinnamon the wonder spice,” followed by a thumbs up emoji.
Another asked: “Will this help with ants?” to which he responded: “Yes”.
A third shared: “I tried it and now those little worms are no longer devouring my plants. Thank you for the tip!” followed by a red heart emoji.
