Many summer residents prefer to use only organic methods of pest and insect control.
They do not use chemicals, as they try to obtain the so-called “clean harvest”.
But what to do with pests that continue to destroy crops in the beds.
Let's see what the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh recommends to do.
What plants are classified as "repellents"
Marigolds repel aphids, nematodes and cabbage flies, while geraniums are not tolerated by cutworms, cabbage moths and aphids.
Mole crickets, slugs and Colorado beetles do not want to see calendula. Aphids and ants do not want to be near cilantro.
Colorado potato beetles and flea beetles also dislike catnip. Many pests generally dislike the smell of lavender, mint, and lemon balm.
These plants can be carefully planted around the perimeter of the garden to reduce the number of harmful insects.
