Cinnamon is a very tasty and healthy seasoning. It is used in cooking, adding to confectionery and various dishes. Due to its smell, it can replace air flavoring. Cinnamon essential oil is used for relaxation in the bath or treatment of diseases.
However, few people know that there is another important area for its use: in gardens and vegetable gardens. Who can a summer resident attract with the most delicious aromatic seasoning? We can identify 7 areas of use of this miraculous plant in agriculture.
Helps fight rodents
Oddly enough, in the garden the aroma of cinnamon tree will not attract anyone. However, this is a big plus for summer residents, because cinnamon repels mice, rats and other rodents. Sprinkle ground cinnamon into the passages between the ridges - then not a single rodent will dare to visit you again, and the roots of the cultivated plants will remain safe and sound.
Cinnamon as protection against insect pests
Cinnamon also prevents insect pests, such as ants and midges, from living near it. It's easy to get rid of them: pour cinnamon powder directly into the anthill or, as a preventive measure, where you don't want to see insects.
Kills fungal infection
If a plant or tree is affected by a fungal disease, cinnamon will help revive it. Dilute 15 g.spices per 1 liter of water, keep the solution warm for half a day, then pour it over the leaves of the diseased plant - in a few days the result will be visible. You can do the same with a tree infected with fungi.
Will not allow mushrooms to remain on the site
Few summer residents like it when toadstool mushrooms take up residence on their property. It's not so easy to kick them out. However, a cinnamon tree can easily cope with this task: sprinkle ground cinnamon on the myceliums, as well as the soil around them. Soon there will be no trace of the mushrooms at the site of their former settlement.
Plant healer
Plants, like people, sometimes need help with cuts and wounds: in order for the damage to heal faster, it is necessary to use a disinfectant. Instead of an antiseptic, cinnamon wood is also suitable. Pour water over the damaged area, then sprinkle it with ground cinnamon - after this procedure the plant will soon recover.
Helps seedlings to take root
If the cuttings cannot take root, cinnamon will come to the rescue: pour the cut or root parts of the seedlings with water and wipe them with ground seasoning. This product is indispensable in the fight against pests and bacteria that prevent small plants from starting to grow fully.
Disease prevention agent
When gardeners plant seeds or cuttings, they still do not know how the plants will behave further or whether pests will attack them. To prevent the interference of insects, rodents and harmful microorganisms in the process of establishing a horticultural crop, it is necessary to take care in advance to prevent diseases and pests.To do this, mix the fertilizer with a small amount of cinnamon, sprinkle it on the soil at the planting site, or pour the plant with a mixture of water and ground seasoning.
Note! This multifunctional plant can help not only trees or seedlings. Cinnamon is also used to heal cuts and abrasions in humans.
Sometimes, in this case, there is no antiseptic at the dacha. Since there is always a possibility of infection and suppuration of the wound, it is better to prevent these processes. If you have ground cinnamon on hand, sprinkle it on the damaged area and place a bandage or cloth on top. The bactericidal properties of the spice will prevent unwanted consequences.
It turns out how much benefit a cinnamon tree can bring to a summer resident. Remember the suggested tips and put them into practice. And don’t forget to stock up on a couple of packages of ground cinnamon before the holiday season.
