This bright flower can decorate any area.
But this is not the only reason why gardeners try to plant calendula in their beds.
The thing is that such a plant not only has healing properties, but also fights pests very well. For example, wireworms, which like to attack and destroy root crops.
That's why summer residents plant calendula between rows of vegetables.
The flower also fights aphids, which can cause serious damage to plantings and destroy the harvest in a short period of time. If you plant calendula on a plot, the pests will start to feast on its nectar and forget about the rest of the plantings.
But that's not all the benefits.
Few people know that calendula is also an excellent green manure that improves soil fertility.
The yield can be increased by cutting the flowers and roots and then adding them to the dug soil.
