What has been your experience using marigolds as a natural way to keep away
insects which would want to eat the flowers? I have heard for years that
this works. First, is this true? Or do they keep away certain insects,
but not all? If they do work, are there any varieties of marigolds which
seem to work better than others? One reason I'm not keen on the idea is
that the bright oranges would kind of clash with my general color scheme.
Perhaps the gentler yellows and whites might work in my garden.
All advice will be welcomed.
