Do you ever wonder what to do with garlic peels after using the cloves in your meals? Well, our wise grandmothers knew just what to do! They had a clever trick up their sleeves that not only saved money but also offered a sustainable way to protect plants from diseases.
Garlic and onions are not only flavorful in our meals, but they also have natural properties that can work wonders in the garden. By repurposing garlic peels, you can create a powerful homemade infusion that acts as a shield against harmful fungi and parasites.
Making this infusion is incredibly easy. Here’s how you can do it:
- Fill a pot with 1 liter of water.
- Add the peels of 4 cloves of garlic to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for around thirty minutes.
- Once cooled, strain the liquid and pour it into a spray bottle.
- Spray the infused liquid onto the leaves and base of your plants to protect them from diseases.
By using this simple and homemade remedy, you not only reduce waste but also provide a natural and sustainable solution for your garden. Embracing the wisdom of our grandmothers, you can care for your garden in an eco-friendly way.
So, the next time you enjoy a meal with garlic, remember to preserve the peels and transform them into a potent gardening secret. Your plants will thank you, and you’ll continue the tradition of resourcefulness passed down by our wise grandmothers. It’s a wonderful way to connect with nature and nurture your garden with a touch of Grandma’s magic.
Dakota Johnson shared a funny story about how her mom, Melanie Griffith, introduced her to Barack Obama, and it was a bit embarrassing.
Moms are known for embarrassing their kids. But if you’re Dakota Johnson and your mom is famous actress Melanie Griffith, the embarrassment level goes up when she introduces you to the President of the United States.
While talking about some of her past movie roles, like The Social Network from 2010, Dakota shared with Vanity Fair how she felt a bit embarrassed during her first meeting with Barack Obama, all because of her mom.
“One time, I was with my mom, and we were meeting Barack Obama, which was a big deal,” Dakota recalled. “He was talking to her, and she said, ‘Oh, Mr. President, this is my daughter. She just did a movie. She’s an actress too. She was in The Social Network.’”
But instead of stopping there, her mom added an embarrassing detail, telling the former president, “She’s in her underwear.” In the movie, Dakota plays a college student who has a fling with Justin Timberlake’s character, Sean Parker, and in one scene, she wears an off-the-shoulder Stanford sweatshirt and bright red underwear.
About the experience, Dakota joked, “And I died. I died inside.”
In the same video, she talked about her thoughts before working with Justin Timberlake on The Social Network. “Are you kidding? I was just 19 and straddling Justin Timberlake and whipping him in the face with my hair,” Dakota said when asked if she had any ideas about acting with the former boy band member. “I definitely had some preconceived notions, but he was really nice and welcoming, especially since I was just a stranger.”
