In the plots of experienced gardeners, you can often see calendula.
The flower is actively used in folk medicine and is also included in various general tonic herbal preparations.
But this is not the only reason why they try to plant it, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What are the benefits of calendula in the garden?
First of all, it is important to remember that planting a flower will attract beneficial insects to the area, which are necessary for pollination.
Also, the presence of the plant in the garden will make the soil safer, as pests become uncomfortable.
For this reason, some consider calendula to be a very good green manure. After planting it, the soil becomes very fertile and not prone to diseases.
After you mow the calendula, you can safely use it to enrich the chemical composition of the compost. You can also prepare various nutrient mixtures based on the plant.
