De ce toarnă oamenii făina direct pe pământ? Ce făină este cea mai bună de folosit pentru sol • Newsweek România

Some gardeners sprinkle flour on soil to enhance its quality and deter pests. Flour serves as food for beneficial microorganisms, aiding in organic matter decomposition. Different types of flour, like wheat, rice, and corn, decompose at varying rates, impacting their effectiveness. Wheat flour decomposes quickly, while rice and corn flour provide longer-lasting nourishment. Although flour can help repel pests, it should not replace proven pest control methods. Proper application involves a thin, even layer to avoid hindering air access and attracting unwanted insects. Other household items, like garlic and coffee grounds, are also used in gardening for pest management.
