If you brought manure to the site or someone near you breeds pigs, you may well find holes in your garden that make a bear in the ground, digging passages. This creature is very voracious, does not disdain cucumbers and tomatoes, loves your cabbage and potatoes. And a special delicacy for her is a young seedling.

Medvedka loves your greenery, especially if your soil is well-groomed, flavored with manure, moist and suitable for its development. But with this problem you need to start fighting as soon as possible, only noticing its appearance on the garden site. For this, there are a lot of folk methods, and chemicals. If you never want to use chemistry in the garden, to poison your plantings and the birds that eat this dead animal, then you need to follow the advice of experienced gardeners who, in the fight against the bear, have already learned to use many ways that helped them save their crops from malicious cabbage.
Bear - when the greatest danger lies in wait?
It must be understood that at the end of May, the bear lays eggs. By the middle or end of June, if you do not take measures, all of them will hatch and your garden will be filled with hordes of cabbage, which will be almost impossible to deal with, and you will simply lose your crop, in which you invested so much time and effort. Therefore - we start the fight in early spring, and even better - in the fall, laying out heaps of manure, boards and roofing material on an empty garden, under which, with the onset of cold weather, the bear will climb up to warm up. Here it is covered there, as they say, without allowing it to be wintered, and thereby minimizing its amount in the garden in the spring. But, and if it didn’t succeed in the fall, then in the early spring we begin to fight with cabbage by all known methods.
How to deal with the bear folk remedies
Using an ordinary can and various contents, you can lure the bear to the surface and drown. To do this, use beer, honey, sweet sour stewed fruit or spoiled jam. An ordinary jar is filled to 1/5 with these contents, or the walls are lubricated with honey from the inside, and they are buried in the ground at the places of its accumulation by the neck. What is happening - a bear, smelling a tasty and pleasant smell, crawls out to the surface, and breaks into a jar to choke delicious things. And he can’t get out of there already on how many walls of the can. And either dies there, or you get it and destroy it.
Chicken droppings - According to gardeners, the bear runs away from this remedy in a panic, they water the plants with diluted droppings, and at the same time they get a double benefit: they fertilize the garden and get rid of the cabbage.
Onion husks and eggshells. These funds are used when planting seeds or seedlings that have already grown up directly into the hole, or already near the planted seedlings, they are dug into the grooves in a circle and sprinkled with earth. At the same time, chop the eggshell and mix it with odorous homemade sunflower oil, the smell of which the bear loves so much.
Soapy water - with this tool, cabbage is poured into the minks. Add about 50 grams of washing powder and the same amount of laundry soap to a bucket of water. Pour half a liter into the mink. You either “smoke” the insect upstairs, or they die there, underground. You can also try pouring a little oil into the mink, and then pour water next.
Rotten fish - they say that the bear really does not like the smell of rotten fish and he directly drives it away from the site. Therefore, do not regret to buy fish heads, let them rot and bury shovels along the edges of their plot on the floor of a bayonet.
Marigolds and coreander. Gardeners claim that the cabbage woman is afraid of the smell of cilantro and marigolds. By planting these plants around the perimeter, you will get double benefit - you will scare away the cabbage, beautiful yellow flowers will decorate the garden, and cilantro is perfect for soups and salads.

Chemical protection against cabbage
You can, of course, spitting on all kinds of troublesome folk there, buy chemistry in the store, poison it, and out of sight. I must say that this is not a very good method - firstly, your plants that you poison inadvertently with the same poison may suffer. Secondly, the poisoned bear crawls out to the surface, and if you do not remove it in time, it will be eaten by birds or pets and will also be poisoned.
The most important thing for which planting garden plots by summer residents is now starting to grow is to grow clean products that are not etched with all sorts of poisons, so it’s still better to fight with folk methods.
Of store-bought drugs, more harmless ones are advised, such as:
Bankolparalyzing cabbage butterflies insecticide. They say that it does not accumulate in the soil and is not dangerous for animals.
Phenaxin Plus - within three hours, the remedy of the bear that ate attractive in taste and smell to her dies. They say that it does not harm plants, does not accumulate in the soil.
Rembek - used during planting, pouring into a hole with a seed. They say that while you get the fruit, the effect of the drug has long ended, and will not be able to harm the crop. But this is a moot point, decide for yourself.
How to get rid of the bear - reviews
After reading reviews on all kinds of summer cottages, you will find out that people are fighting for their crops, using all sorts of methods described above with varying degrees of success.
Marina - the husband tried to bury all sorts of jars of honey and beer. Yes, a couple of pieces will be caught - what's the point? There are many of them, so we use Medvetox, it helps. True, troublesome. It is necessary to breed porridges and mix, dig in, but we save the crop.
Ivan - In the fall, I start to fight this beast in the garden plot, raking in heaps of manure, then destroying the bear, which is hiding from the cold there, and have time to lime half of it before frost. In the spring, I start again with the same measures. And then I take it out with baits, look for egg laying, dig it out and feed it to the hens.
Natalya - we use Phenaxin plus, it helps. And the husband began to use Bankol - and at the same time rescues from the Colorado potato beetle, otherwise the reptile ate all the potatoes last year. I think it’s necessary to try all the methods, if some fail, otherwise plant a garden to feed this muck? I want to feed my family, not a bear and a Colorado potato beetle. Good luck to all!
