Green Thumbs-up: Mind-Blowing Gardening Hacks Every Plant Parent Needs to Know!

Black Pepper’s Protective Punch

Sprinkling black pepper around your plants is like setting up a no-party zone for pests. This common kitchen spice is to insects what a rainstorm is to a barbecue—quite the deterrent. The spicy scent and taste of pepper are a big turn-off for ants, spider mites, and other tiny invaders looking to feast on your foliage.

Not just a tabletop staple for seasoning, black pepper works in the garden as a non-toxic way to tell pests to “bug off” without the harsh chemicals. It’s the garden equivalent of a spicy bouncer, ensuring that your plants can groove in peace without unwanted creepy-crawly guests.
