Marigolds - Nature's home guard??

[StephenH]

They're supposed to be good against eelworm, because their roots secrete something which deters them. I'm planning to grow them more or less everywhere.

I've got quite a lot of them in modules for my garden...

But I'll be sowing more and having them everywhere in the lottie!!

[Irie Jan]

Sow your Marigolds in sucsession, that way when the slugs and winged creatures have had their fill of one lot of plants, you will have another lot ready to replace the eaten or infested ones! Fresh blood to keep your crops safe!

[Demeter]

I plan on succession sowing throughout the season but will buy some in for the first lot to plant as I have only just sown some the other day. Digging my brassicas patch next.
