🌏 Found an interesting article about using aluminium mulch from 1981!! Don’t know what to do with left over aluminium foil from your kitchen? Try out this interesting farming technique where you cover the ground (under which your plants are growing) with an aluminium foil. According to this article, applying this farming technique in early stages of your crop cycle significantly reduces aphids and virus spread. Sunlight reflected off aluminium foil on the ground confuses aphids that like to hide on the underside of leaves. Less aphids = less virus spread by those suckers ✌🏼I’m going to give this a serious go in my garden, you should too and let me know if it works for you! 👨‍🌾⁣
