Where to plant marigolds so that pests avoid your garden

Marigolds not only decorate a summer cottage, but can also be beneficial. Experienced gardeners shared where marigolds should be planted in the garden. These flowers make life easier for summer residents, informs Ukr.Media.

It is good to plant marigolds in a greenhouse and in a garden with tomatoes, eggplants and peppers. They repel many pests - nematodes and cabbage worms. You can plant them next to potatoes and legumes. Marigolds repel wireworms, beetles and Colorado potato beetles well, although not very strongly.

It is useful to plant marigolds around the trunks of trees, bushes, and unoccupied areas of the garden to keep weeds at bay.

Marigolds can be planted next to strawberries to prevent the spread of gray mold. But there is one downside - marigolds can attract slugs and snails. If you plant them, you should monitor the spread of slugs and snails.
