These Flowers Will Save Your Garden From Pests - Experts Are Panic

Agronomists are sounding the alarm: chemical insecticides are killing not only beetles, but also the soil.

But nature has already created the perfect weapon - flowers that repel pests with bright colors and poisonous aromas.

Experts have been hiding these life hacks for decades so that farmers don't lose their income. But today we're revealing all the cards: your garden will become an impregnable fortress, and pests will run away from it like fire.

Nasturtium - a death trap for aphids

Aphids love nasturtiums more than roses or cucumbers. This is not a coincidence, but an evolutionary trick: the plant secretes pheromones that attract pests.

Plant nasturtium 5-7 meters from the beds - and aphids will attack it, forgetting about your vegetables. Choose low-growing varieties, for example, "Alaska" with marble leaves: they will not shade other crops, but will become a bright "magnet" for insects.

When nasturtium is covered with aphid colonies, do not rush to save it - dig it up and burn it. This way you will destroy the pests without chemicals.

But remember: you can’t plant nasturtium next to cabbage or radish - their aroma will interrupt the bait.

Tansy is a nightmare for the Colorado potato beetle and not only

Tansy smells like a gas chamber to insects. Its essential oils contain thujone, a substance that causes panic and disorientation in beetles.

Pick fresh tansy branches (be sure to wear gloves - the juice is poisonous!) and place them between the rows of potatoes.

Change the "aromatic traps" every 3 days - Colorado beetles will disappear in a week.

Calendula - a guard against nematodes and underground terrorists

Calendula roots secrete a toxin called tagetene that is deadly to nematodes. These microscopic worms eat the roots of strawberries, tomatoes and carrots, but when they encounter calendula they die instantly.

Plant it in a dense carpet around the beds - and the parasites will disappear forever. Choose varieties "Pacific Beauty" or "Orange King": they suppress pests most aggressively.

Protective flowers do not simply mask the smell of cultivated plants - they change the biochemistry of the soil and air, making them unsuitable for pests.

And unlike chemicals, this protection works for years. Plant this "army" in the new season - and your neighbors will beg to reveal your secret!
