The lawn is the pride of every garden owner. If you want yours to be the most beautiful in the street this year, be sure to sprinkle it with cinnamon!
Cinnamon is used in the kitchen as a flavor of sweet porridge, exotic dishes or apple cakes. But few people know that this spice has greater potential, which can be capitalized in the garden. “Yes, it’s true,” says the expert, adding that the crushed bark of the tropical cinnamon tree works as doping for beginning plants. And not just that!

Against insects
According to the professional magazine Molekules Cinnamon repels harmful insects. “It is mainly aphids and ants who destroy the new vegetation from the roots,” writes the author of the article, adding that the spice contains substances (especially aldehyd and termentoids) that prevent insects to put eggs in a certain place and build their generation colony. And that’s only good!
Stop of squirrels and snakes!
Surprisingly, cinnamon prevents garden greenery from animals from the surroundings. Her aroma repels squirrels that dry the holes into the lawn and thus destroy it. Cinnamon has also proved to be a means of exposing snakes. The trouble is mainly a viper that threatens the safety of children, but also domestic animals. Of course, you can’t only rely on cinnamon to drive all reptiles from the surroundings. Therefore, keep your lawn nicely chopped. Only in this way do you avoid it to become a shelter for uninvited guests.
Molds no longer threaten
“Another great feature of cinnamon is its antibacterial and antipliment effects,” says an expert, and quotes a study printed in Agricultural and Food Chemistry, where the special cinnamon compound – Cinnamaldehyd is mentioned, is a special substance that creates a natural barrier against harmful bacteria. This is also confirmed by the lawn growers themselves, who tried the cinnamon cure. Since they sprinkled their “arm” with cinnamon, they have not known the rot of the roots and other insidious diseases.
Doping for starting
The glory of cinnamon as a garden spice has spread to social networks. For example, tiktokerka @Thekrazycouponlady uses spices to plant lawn. “I simply plant the seeds, sprinkle with cinnamon, turn the clay and I have taken care of. Thanks to this procedure I have always managed to grow a beautiful lawn. So try it too,” he recommends.
