I have a backyard vineyard of about 100 vines.
Does anyone know of any plants that are natural
insect repellants that I could plant between the
vines. I do not need a product I can eat but
something that is pretty would be an added
bonus.


What insect are you trying to repel?

Foliar spraying with liquid seaweed or also sold
under sea kelp has been shown to repel spider
mites.

I'd have to know more to give accurate
information.


I am particularly interested in getting rid of
Japanese beatles.
