Tagetes minuta
Inca Marigold,
COMPOSITAE
Inca Marigold is another one of
those, much maligned, weeds that have the reputation based
on the inconvenience of a few.
As a natural herbicide and
insecticide it is unpanelled. A slow tea made from all
aerial parts, left to sit submerged for up to seven days,
can be sprayed at times of insect invasion to reduce the
damage on vulnerable crops.
Inca Marigold naturally deters grass
from invading your gardens as well by creating a circle of
weed free soil around itself.
If your soil suffers from
nematode infestation then it is a natural and you can't do
without it.
Mosquitos hate the smell
and stay away and it is not unpleasant to wear on the skin.
Inca Marigold germination is high and
quick and it self sows readily.
Packet of 20 seeds $3.50
