Using Homeopathy in your garden
Homeopathy stimulates a plant’s innate defences against pests and disease by strengthening its health. A plant in its optimal state of health can shrug pests and diseases naturally. This holistic approach to plant health involves no toxicity and frequently requires just one application.. One 50ml bottle of remedy can make at least 20 litres of solution with which to treat your plants.
