Learn to save your marigold seeds and you’ll never have to buy marigolds again.
Marigolds are beneficial for vegetable gardens for several reasons:
Pest Repellent: Marigolds emit a strong scent that can deter many common garden pests like aphids, nematodes, and whiteflies. Planting them alongside vegetables can help protect your crops.
Nematode Control: Certain marigold varieties, such as French marigolds (Tagetes patula), release natural compounds that can suppress harmful soil-dwelling nematodes, which can damage plant roots.
Soil Enrichment: Marigolds have deep roots that help improve soil structure and aeration. When they decompose, they add organic matter to the soil, enhancing its fertility.
Companion Planting: Marigolds can serve as companion plants, which means they can be interplanted with vegetables to improve the overall health of the garden and support each other's growth.
Attracting Beneficial Insects: Marigolds also attract beneficial insects like ladybugs and parasitic wasps, which can help control garden pests.
Overall, marigolds are a natural and colorful addition to your vegetable garden that can contribute to a healthier and more productive growing environment.
