You’re probably thinking that the days of finding a bottle of baby powder on the bathroom cabinet are over.
Many children are probably adults by now. And what else can you do with baby powder?
Now, what we may not know is the power of this powder, especially for the garden. Maybe that’s even the reason why the neighbor’s garden always looks so well-kept and healthy…
Is there anything better than products that have more than one use? At least in the garden area, baby powder is a good example. Here are some problems for which baby powder offers a solution.
Baby Powder Tip for the Garden: What They Didn’t Teach You in Garden School
1. Keeps ants away
Ants are a real pest in summer. Most of us spend a lot of money on harsh chemicals to get rid of them and prevent them from entering our homes and gardens. But these harmful chemicals can affect the soil. Sprinkle some baby powder on the areas where you saw these pesky insects and watch them make a wide berth.
For some reason, ants don’t like baby powder. So create your own baby powder “wall” to keep them away.
2. Keeps bugs away
Not only do ants like places where you don’t necessarily want to see them, beetles also like green spaces in the garden. Sprinkle some baby powder on your plants and you will see that they will no longer be attracted to them and will immediately leave your garden.
3) Protect your hands
Now you’re probably wondering how baby powder can improve the use of garden tools, but that’s actually not as absurd as it seems. Sprinkling a little baby powder on your shovel, hedge trimmer or pruning shears will prevent you from getting blisters when you’re working hard outdoors.
4) Relieves tired feet
Since baby powder has an absorbent and softening effect, it is perfect for stressed feet. If your feet are sweaty or tired, rub them with baby powder to not only make them smell nice but also to make them feel softer.
In fact, it was my friend who told me about it when he was having problems with ants.
