Why garlic is a valuable ally in the garden
Garlic is not only a staple in our kitchens; it's also a traditional ingredient used to boost plant vitality. Its natural compounds release a characteristic odor that deters many small pests while creating a more favorable environment for healthy foliage.
The real secret lies in allicin: this compound, released when garlic is crushed, acts as a natural barrier, highly valued by gardening enthusiasts. A simple press with the flat of a knife is enough to reveal its effectiveness.
Cinnamon, a mild but remarkably effective spice
It's often overlooked, but cinnamon is a true ally for plants. Its natural properties provide valuable support, particularly for keeping leaves healthy and mitigating certain problems related to humidity. Its comforting fragrance also acts as a light olfactory barrier that deters some flying insects.
When garlic and cinnamon come together, they form a complementary combination, a bit like a duo that works perfectly: each brings its own strength, and together they gain in effectiveness.
