Well a couple of weeks ago we planted out about a dozen 6-8 inch mexican marigolds along the line of next doors fence. I've read about their supposed help in supressing bindweed/ground elder so thought I'd try it.
Well.......they certainly have an effect on the bindweed - they're using the marigolds to climb up! Lol!!!
Maybe they might be more effective (as a deterrent, not as a climbing frame) when they get bigger, they grow about 3ft don't they? Hope they look pretty.
