Everyone knows that a flowerbed is intended for flowers, and a greenhouse is for vegetables.
However, experienced gardeners sometimes plant marigolds in the greenhouse.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained the benefits of such a trick.
Why plant marigolds
Marigolds in a greenhouse are not just decoration. They bring considerable benefits to plants.
Sometimes onions and nightshade crops can be attacked by small worms. However, marigolds contain substances that repel these parasites.
In addition, crushed marigolds can also be used to protect plants.
Their stems should be finely chopped and added to the soil during autumn digging.
It can also be a preventative measure in the fight against late blight.
How to protect crops from diseases and pests
To prevent plants in the greenhouse from being “attacked” by various pests and diseases, it is worth following a few simple rules.

It is also better not to use last year's garters. In addition, when planting plants, you cannot thicken the plantings.
Otherwise, it will contribute to the development of various diseases.
