Grand total

Get yourself some more help from nature by using our Tagetes as natural pest control in your garden.  

It does seem a bit mean to, using nature to help us in the battle against natural pests and weeds but just think of all the manmade alternatives!  

We have told you about our Neem fertilizer’s effect on Eel worms and the like… 

Well, how about some really stunning plants, some with wonderfully fragrant foliage, that are easy to grow, last all summer and have been proven to reduce all them root-eating nematodes, plus a few greedy beetles.  

Too good to be true? 

Not when it comes to Tagetes.  

But that’s not all. Tagetes can be effective deterrents against Ground Ivy, Ground Elder, Couch Grass, Bindweed and other ‘starchy’ weeds.  

Obviously, our Tagetes plants won’t do your weeding for you, and you can’t rush nature – the effects take about three to four months after planting and build up over the years – but in the meantime, most of the Tagetes will give you a glorious display of colour, with fragrant flowers and leaves – just try gently bruising them.
