areas day

like panning for gold except to Madison Lee interesting bold
which is much cooler look all these little ones here
and occasionally you'll see a a big Daddy one looked at one hang on
but not
is like a monster pike the if you're picking wild garlic
make sure you've got permission but the kind you by the shop has
even more powerful properties so that's what I'm going to use to make a remedy
for
athletes foot
it's a problem that will affect one in four of us at some point in our lives
and bas ek kam Ben it's a problem that just won't go away
that being suffering from athletes for
since my early tames on an all have been
suffering from ugly truth for around eighteen years

I'm going to use garlic to try and tackle their problem hand you can save
yourself a few quid
by growing at a home Hey
it's a simple I've to take the bold any
break off individual close use the ones from the outside mainly because they're
the biggest

and of course the biggest plans the next year and you put them in about 10
centimeters apart
so the top this area is just underneath the soil surface
so on say about born this part
next year each in these individual closed
will hopefully have formed its own bulb so what it's a
so putting in this and getting ninety percent return next is not about
investment really
E you can even plant the bulbs you buy in the supermarket
but for the best results i buy them from the garden center and plant them in the
early autumn
garlic contains sulfur compounds including
Allison which is released when the cells in the clover broken down
alison has antibacterial and antifungal
it works to treat athlete's foot by attacking the fungus that causes the
infection dual
with just a few bits and pieces from the garden I'm gonna make something at least
the first thing in eighties to whole bulbs and college a lot to enclose
entire bolt were actually gonna put and a hot
football of this'll help give it up any bacterial or fungal infections
I'm going to six and garlic in a joke
the next step is Ted color like garlic
so it's just a little bit more than double with some vinegar

the next thing really my thing and is sage I'm just gonna
give them a quick quack and the pass along what
sister cruise the cells so the active principles we're looking to get
come out of them that little bit easier past
pour the mixture into an airtight container making sure you've got another
vinegar to totally cover the herbed
you're basically you gonna have to use this for two weeks to a month
we need to do is is take out about three to five tablespoons this
as to get a really hot football just keep in a cool dry place
