When picking grapes, you expect to enjoy the sweet fruit. However, it often happens that the berries grow sour. If you encounter this issue, there is a simple solution: use a common kitchen ingredient.

How to treat grapes to grow a sweet crop

The secret is to use soda in the form of a mixture, not in its pure form. To prepare the mixture, you need the following ingredients:

• Baking soda — 80 grams;
• One bucket of clean water.

Add the baking soda to the water and mix thoroughly. Then, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and treat the grapes with it. Make sure the mixture gets on all the leaves and stems of your grapes. Do this two or three times with a seven-day break in between.

Why baking soda is good for grapes

Experienced gardeners say the soda-based mixture promotes sweet grape growth. It also helps protect the plant from gray rot, a popular fungal disease. This common kitchen ingredient is also considered an effective defense against pests.
