Interesting uses of plants


Benefit each other:
      The Native Americans planted corn, beans, and squash together so that they could benefit each other. The corn provides the structure for the beans to climb. The beans provide the nitrogen to the soil that the other plant utilizes and the squash spreads along the ground preventing weeds.

 Eco-friendly plant:
       Plant a lot of hemp in the land of Fukushima. Hemp's vibration has the potentiality to purify the contaminated environment made by radiation.- Dr.Masaru Emoto.

To prevent ants:     
       Planting mint around your house can prevent ants from coming into your house. Mint destroys an ant's sense of smell making them less likely to risk the possibility of entering. Grow them near doors/windows and place mint leaves in pantries.

Keep away mosquitoes in your garden:
      Lemongrass, Lavender, Lemon balm, Basil, Lemon Thyme, Catnip, Rosemary, Garlic, Marigolds. Put any of these plants in your garden. Mosquitoes absolutely hate them.

Down in dumps:
   Try a gardenia plant. It's like a long-lasting anti-depressant. Garden researchers found that the smell of gardenia can improve your emotional outlook and the plants can live for 25 years.

Air purifying indoor plants:

 Bamboo palm: Removes formaldehyde, acts as a natural humidifier.
Spathiphyllum: Remove mold spores, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene.
Sansevieria:  It absorbs nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde.
Spider plant: Removes carbon monoxide and other toxins or impurities. One of three plants NASA deems best at removing formaldehyde from the air.
Areca palm: One of the best air purifying plants for general air cleanliness.
Golden pothos: Most effective indoor purifiers. Removes xylene, tolune, benzene, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde.

 Watering plants:
     Plant your seeds around an empty plastic pot to create a well for easier and deeper root watering.

Protect your plants:
    Sprinkle the crushed eggshells around the base of your plants. So the sharp eggshells will deter slugs, snails and other bugs from nibbling on your garden and also add calcium to your soil.

Food that will Regrow from kitchen scraps:
