Calendula

This is one of the most useful plants on the plot, as it helps to cope with the problem of many pests. Calendula will not "claim" nutrients, so it can be planted directly between the rows of the main crop.

Coriander

If you like to cook, then planting this plant will definitely do you good. And as a pleasant "bonus" you will notice a significant decrease in the population of the Colorado potato beetle.
