Aspirin is not only an effective medicine that helps us get rid of headaches or relieve cold symptoms, it is also an irreplaceable assistant for a summer resident! Many of us know that in order to prolong the life of bouquets of cut flowers, you need to add an aspirin tablet to the water. And the fair sex is not unsuccessfully using these tiny tablets in home cosmetology - they make excellent masks for both face and hair with powdered aspirin. However, the spectrum of action of aspirin does not end there. How else can it be useful?
Insect bite remedy
Aspirin is great for treating insect bites. A crushed aspirin tablet is combined with a teaspoon of water until a wet gruel is formed, and then the resulting mixture is applied to the bite site. Oak or willow bark can be used in the same way.
Disinfect the soil? Easily
With the help of aspirin, it will not be difficult to disinfect contaminated soils. To do this, one tablet of the life-saving remedy is diluted in a liter of water, after which the beds are thoroughly spilled with the resulting solution. Such watering will have a beneficial effect on the structure of the soil.
We treat plants
Aspirin perfectly helps to cope with the initial stages of all kinds of fungal diseases in growing crops. For this purpose, the plants, as well as the beds, are also abundantly spilled with aspirin solution (for every couple of liters of water, half a tablet of aspirin). And to achieve the best effect, such treatments are carried out in a course.
What is the secret of the success of such treatments? The fact is that salicylic acid, which is part of aspirin, rather quickly stimulates an analogue of the immune system in growing crops. That is why crops growing on beds spilled with aspirin solution are more resistant to both damage by parasitic insects and various fungal diseases. By the way, a good effect can be achieved even if you do not water the plants with this solution, but simply spray them.
Preventive "fertilization" of the beds with aspirin is recommended every three weeks. By the way, tomatoes burst much less often after such treatments! And aspirin also has the ability to increase seed germination!
Canning
Aspirin will also serve well in the hot season of blanks, because these little white tablets are an excellent home preservative. Being engaged in the preparation of various marinades and pickles, many hostesses add aspirin to the coveted jars and a tablet each.
Stimulating plant growth
Experienced summer residents have noticed that cucumber and tomato seedlings grow on aspirin like yeast. So why not take advantage of this observation for the benefit of the future harvest? Of course, this property of a common medicine has not yet received official confirmation, however, absolutely everyone can try, as far as it really is!
What if you can't leave the dacha?
Sometimes summer residents are faced with such a nuisance as a dead battery in a car. Aspirin will definitely help you to try to start such a car! It is especially useful at low temperatures. In order to try to get an iron horse, a couple of aspirin tablets are added to the electrolyte. The interaction of this drug with the electrolyte helps to charge the battery for a short time, and this, in turn, makes it possible to get at least to the nearest car service. True, the battery for this must be acidic and maintainable (that is, with special holes in the lid).

Let's Talk About Jam
For a long time in Russia, jam was made mainly from fruits and berries, because it is they that give us the opportunity to remember the hot summer in cold winter, enjoy the bright taste, feel the aroma of the gifts of nature! Our ancestors knew about the beneficial properties of vegetables, but there was no sugar, and people made jam with honey. For example, Ivan the Terrible was very fond of honey-drenched cucumber jam
Let's Talk Over Barbecue
It is pleasant Saturday evening after a day full of gardening to gather with family and friends around the smoking aroma of the barbecue. After satisfying a little hunger, those sitting begin to weave the laces of the conversation word by word. After discussing the work done at the summer cottage, complaining that the day off flies so quickly, putting in control the children trying to set fire to long branches from the barbecue, the conversation gradually begins to take on a philosophical character. The stars above it are more and more clearly visible
