You have a few easy options depending on what kind of salt you have on hand:

1. Choose Your Salt

  • Table Salt – Readily available and easy to dissolve.

  • Epsom Salt – Bonus: adds magnesium to your soil while repelling bugs.

  • Rock Salt – Great for dry applications thanks to its coarse texture.

2. Make a Salt Spray Solution

  • Mix 2–3 tablespoons of salt with 1 liter of warm water

  • Stir until fully dissolved

  • Pour into a spray bottle for easy application

This creates a gentle but effective treatment you can use on:

  • Plant leaves and stems

  • The base of garden beds

  • Cracks and crevices where bugs might hide

3. Use Dry Salt Around the Garden
