Not every gardener knows that there are plants that not only decorate the area, but also do an excellent job of driving away pests.
One of these useful plants is calendula.
Many people grow calendula as a decorative or medicinal flower, but in fact this plant is a real salvation for the garden and vegetable garden.
Not every gardener remembers that the proximity of calendula can prevent some diseases in other flowers or fruit crops.
For example, you can protect plantings from black leg and fusarium.
If you plant the flower near beds with onions, cabbage, potatoes, it will prevent the appearance of nematodes, onion flies, and Colorado beetles.
But the flower's advantages don't end there.
The fact is that it can also be used as green manure to improve the soil.
