Chemical means for fighting insect pests cope with their task without complaints, but only then do you have to think about the quality of the harvest.
Gardeners and summer residents who advocate environmentally friendly farming have solved this problem for themselves and have given up pesticides.
In gardening circles, it is believed that just five plants can replace pesticides and at the same time decorate the area.
Marigold
It has been noted that where these flowers grow, root nematodes do not occur. Marigolds protect the roots of plants, repelling pests.
Marigolds repel whiteflies with the same success.
Cosmos
It is considered the best natural remedy for aphids. The plant attracts other insects that are natural enemies of aphids.
Violet
Slugs and snails don't like violets, and all because of their special leaves.
Flowers are also effective against other pests, as they also attract insects that feed on garden pests.
Carnation
Its aroma is not liked by aphids, and the plant is also able to drive away slugs and snails from the area.
Zinnia
Gardeners call it a trap for May bugs. The insects are attracted to the flower, so that vegetable and other crops remain unharmed.
