In the final month of autumn, some summer residents plant marigolds.
It is worth noting that these people are doing absolutely the right thing.
The fact is that the appearance of marigolds in a country house is a guarantee of obtaining several positive results at once.
So, let's figure out what exactly is so good about representatives of the Asteraceae family.
Improving the appearance of the site
If you plant marigolds at the end of autumn this year, you will enjoy the beauty of the flower garden at the beginning of summer next year.
The plant looks great and is bright.
Improving soil condition
Marigolds are an excellent green manure.
The plant significantly improves the quality of the soil cover. The soil becomes looser and much more fertile.
Pest repellant
Marigolds also protect plants from dangerous insects.
Thus, representatives of the Asteraceae family are good at repelling aphids and the Colorado potato beetle.
Mulch
The plant can easily act as a mulching material.
In addition, marigolds can be safely sent to the compost bin: the organic fertilizer will be even better quality.
