Many inexperienced gardeners throw away faded marigolds.
However, this is a wrong approach.
It turns out that such a plant can be used in a country plot. So, marigolds should be… buried in the garden.
The results of this gardening technique will pleasantly surprise you.
How to properly bury marigolds
You need marigold tops: first remove the roots and seed pods from the plant.
But there is no need to throw away the stems: they will come in handy.
Bury the tops and chopped stems so that these plant remains are at a depth of 15-20 centimeters.
The procedure can be carried out at the site of the intended cultivation of any vegetable crop.
But first, we need to pay attention to the future tomato, onion and carrot beds.
Results of the procedure
Most likely, many pests will not appear on the site.
Garden crops will certainly be protected from mole crickets and wireworms. There will be no carrot fly either. These creatures will be scared away by the stems of marigolds.
And the aroma of flowers will be extremely unpleasant for rodents.
It is also worth emphasizing that buried marigolds will seriously improve the condition of the soil and act as a fertilizer.
