Most Destructive Diseases in Your Home Garden

Although diseases are transmitted to plants in many ways, there are two main causes: airborne and pests. The incidence of diseases is higher during the rainy and winter seasons than during the summer. The impact of diseases on a plant can be divided into three types: Fungus and Bacteria Viruses. In this article, we will look at the major diseases that affect home gardening and ways to control them naturally

Maintain good airflow between plants

Leave enough space between one plant and another. This allows sunlight to reach the affected areas of the plant, thus reducing the risk of disease.

 Water enough but not too much

Give the right amount of water. Avoid giving too much water as needed. This is because of the fact that diseases can spread as fast as they want.
