A GARDENING enthusiast has shared a tip that will help keep your plants safe from bugs.

The mixture works in just two minutes and uses items you can likely find laying around your kitchen.

“Gardening hacks that I learned from TikTok part six. This one is my absolute favorite and it’s allowing me to keep my plants healthy after they have been attacked by these annoying bugs,” Kia Jade (@kia_urbangardener) began in a TikTok video.

“I don’t know what they are, but they have decided to go to town on my plants.”

She listed the ingredients needed to create the concoction.

“So this is a natural pesticide. You will be able to get all these ingredients in your kitchen.

“It takes less than like two minutes to put it all together.

“Half a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid.

“You also want to put that into 500 mls of water.

“The next thing is half a teaspoon of biocarb soda, and then one teaspoon of Vegetable Oil.

“Mix it all up, pop it into a spray bottle, and it works wonders.”

She explained how the mixture works to keep bugs away from your plants.

“The vegetable oil actually suffocates the insects.

“I feel a bit mean doing that, but they need to stop eating my plants,” she said.

She continued: “This has killed them within two minutes, it’s literally dropped off the plants.

“So I hope this helps you. I’ve used it on many different plants that I have in the garden, and so far it’s been working really well.”
