Anybody plant marigolds throughout the garden to deter pests (or other plants for that matter)? My pests are primarily beetles, slugs, rabbits, mice and squirrels. I'm not certain it would work for the slugs, and we already talked about those . However, I'd like to deter beetles and rodents? I could trap the latter, but it would be nice if I didn't have too be so mean to them.
I planned a row of marigolds along the fence of the garden on either side of the gate (note the picture 2 posts above. I'm wondering if this is a good approach, or if I should incorporate the marigolds throughout the garden.
