Many people plant marigolds in their gardens because these flowers are very beneficial.

In particular, they are chosen as an affordable means of reducing pest numbers.

Plants also have a beneficial effect on the development of other crops. However, in the fall, it is worth thinking about how to properly manage them.

What options are worth highlighting?

Make the soil more fertile and of better quality

Few people know that marigolds have a good potential to have a significant impact on the soil. With their help, the soil becomes more nutritious and loose.

To do this, you just need to leave the roots of the plants in the soil, removing only the above-ground part.

You can also use the above-ground part of marigolds, after drying and crushing them. To do this, you just need to dig the plant remains into the soil.

The planting depth should be at least 20 centimeters.

After such feeding, many vegetables will grow well, including carrots, onions and tomatoes. The soil will also become ideal for growing a good harvest of strawberries.
