their gardens and on their plants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have some spare or flat coca-cola this is a great alternative to weed killers and some drinks like milk and tea actually work as fertilizers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The delicious drinks aren\u2019t as strong as professional weed killers, but they are a great option if you want to be kind er to the environment<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of these techniques are best off being used in moderation,\u201d the gardening whizz explained.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\"
