The use of chemicals is an effective way to combat garden pests.
However, this method cannot be called safe in all cases.
Smart gardeners act differently: they plant flowers that repel unwanted insects.
As a result, you can combine business with pleasure: make the area more beautiful and protect garden crops.
But what flowers exactly can help achieve such results?
Marigold
These flowers are a source of compounds that cope with the pathogens of a considerable number of diseases that are dangerous to plants, reports TUT NEWS .
In addition, insects that can reduce the yield of garden crops very rarely appear in areas where marigolds grow.
Calendula
If this plant acts as a “neighbor” for vegetables, the latter are unlikely to encounter dangerous diseases and pests.
Thus, potatoes will acquire protection from the Colorado potato beetle. But cabbage will definitely not become an object of attack from gastropods.
