It's a myth. Marigolds are magnets for spider mites. There is only one variety
of marigold which will help manage root knot nematodes.

Ohmygawd - spider mites! That's all I need! I have a (rescued from
the alley) ti plant that has spider mites, and I had to buy some bad
stuff with which I will treat it and hope for the best.

Went there. Shyte! Another myth exploded. Next you'll tell me there
is no Santa Claus.

Well, I'll get some snail pellets and see if that helps.

Sigh!

Thanks.

I thought Marigolds were so resistant to pests
that one plants them alongside others as deterrent!

Instead, my dwarf Marigolds have been chawed
up; also some Italian Parsley near them. Weird!

Any idea what might be responsible?
