If your grass is already healthy, cinnamon may also help prevent new fungal growth, so sprinkling it every once in a while can be a great idea regardless of the current condition of your lawn. On top of this, cinnamon may help stimulate the roots of plants, provide nutrients, and encourage new growth in the garden or lawn. </p><p>Additionally, cinnamon has the added benefit of repelling certain pests. The spice is thought to help repel ants and spider mites thanks to its potential use as an insect repellent and insecticide. It may also potentially prevent insects and pests from laying eggs. Not only a deterrent to insects, however, cinnamon may stop squirrels and rabbits from coming into your yard — it's one of the top spices that mice hate as well. With these additional benefits, cinnamon may be even more useful and can go even further than you realized toward helping you achieve the perfect lawn.</p></div></body>
