Why YOU Should Plant Marigolds. EVERYWHERE.



Marigolds are used in the garden to return a number of different things. This can range from deterring, rabbits, dear, and even some pass. What did you know Marigolds have been tested and they actually only prevent a certain number of past species.

👩🏻‍🦰 A B O U T M E:
Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her p
ost-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

  1. Not sure there would be enough time for tomatoes if using marigolds as cover crop in cold zones. Love the marigolds and they really look great in the fall. I have to separate a bunch more tomorrow.

  2. Appreciate the cannabis bit, although you seem uncomfortable talking about it. Cannabis is a medicine; please don't worry about the stigma attached to it. Think about using Comfrey tea as an example of divided beliefs.
    Nonetheless, please do not grow Marigolds with your cannabis without taking steps to supplement its use of nitrogen, because it will use whatever is available and create problems for both plants.
    Thank you!

  3. I know it's just anecdotal but I had three potted marigolds (T. patula of various colors) near my pepper plants and whitflies just devoured them. One plant (the youngest) was nearly killed by them, the other damaged. In the end I elimated all of them, basically as a trap crop.
    I don't think they repel the damned flies, but I can confirm syrphid flies were very attracred by their flowers, never seen so many around.
    All in all is a nice plant to have. I guess I looked at the same studies on nematodes and experimented a bit also with Tagest minuta, they're nearly a weed, it's the third year they continue popping out in pots :/

  4. I plant marigolds for 2 main reasons. One is an abundance of free seeds, and seconds I love their look and fragrance.
    My favorite are the tiny signet marigold. It you rub your hand on one it is just a beautifully wonderous aroma.
    Enjoy your videos! Stay Well!!!

  5. I would like to hear more about how to attract ladybugs to my garden. I try to grow organically and am always looking for natural remedies. I have been planting and harvesting the seed from marigolds for years. So this is great info as it synthesesis the relevant information. Many thanks!

  6. I absolutely love knowing that you've vetted the science supporting the exceptionally useful, relevant info you keep providing in videos like this one, so I can trust its validity. [almost unique among YT gardening channels]

  7. Excellent information. Great that someone puts these myths to rest. My understanding from 40 years ago was that it 's only the Tagetes patula that will affect nematodes. Do you know if this is indeed the case or do Tagetes erecta do likewise ? Either way a huge time and resource commitment needed to make it effective. Thank so much.

  8. I see Aphids and Leafhoppers every season and all season long. I've never really believed in the idea that plants repel pests. Come mid summer when the pests are in full force and competing for life I have always found that they will bypass any and all deterrents in order to survive. Some will even build up a resistance to pesticides. The reason I plant Marigolds is because of a reason you touched on in your video. That is because they absolutely bring in beneficial insects and pollinators. I mainly grow peppers and do so in containers. I start my own Marigold and Alyssum seeds and strategically place combo pots of these plants all over the place surrounding my pepper containers. These flowers bring in the beneficial insects which are the very best pest control we can ask for. The flowers being beautiful is just icing on the cake. I try my best to stay on top of Aphids, but without Marigold and Alyssum bringing in all the beneficial insects I fear it's a battle I would lose every season.

  9. 0:07 exactly the ones my mother used to grow, and I'll grow again. 6:01 wow! 1:11 I grew the big puffy African marigolds, yellow ones (fav) and orange ones. I'll do those again too. Great video, Ashley! Love the truth or myth list. Thanks for this!

  10. no kidding, about them surviving almost any conditions! this spring, something ate one of my marigolds to the stem; it was just a little 4" skeleton, and i thought it was a goner. but it grew back leaves in just a couple weeks, and soon caught up to all the others. just the kind of plant that works here in Florida, where the pests and diseases overcome so many things 🙂
