Some summer residents, without a shadow of a doubt, classify wormwood as a weed and begin to fight it.

More experienced gardeners, on the contrary, even plant decorative forms of the plant on their plots.

As it turns out, this is a very useful trick, noted Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.

What are the benefits of planting wormwood?

Protecting the garden

It is difficult to list all the pests that lay claim to berries and vegetables, which wormwood successfully copes with. To do this, it is enough to simply plant it next to the beds of plants that are most often attacked by insects.

Fruit trees

Few people know that wormwood can be planted right under the tree itself. The plant will not interfere with the development of the crop, and such a neighborhood will be incredibly useful.
