Perhaps no one has ever managed to grow a decent harvest without encountering problems in the form of insect pests.
Many summer residents unanimously agree that one of the most malicious parasites is the Colorado potato beetle.
Of course, you can deal with the pest using preparations specially created for this purpose.
But if there is an opportunity to do without them, why not take advantage of it?
It turns out that if you plant several plants in the beds, you will not have to come face to face with the pest: they will act as repellents.
Thus, the Colorado potato beetle does not tolerate proximity to coriander, marigolds and thyme.
In addition, the list of “ill-wishers” for this parasite includes such herbs as sage, as well as horseradish, garlic, onions and beans.
It is enough to plant these plants between the rows of potatoes and around the plot, and you can be sure that the harvest will be under reliable protection.
