Marigolds devoured
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? TIA -- Persephone Zone 24/8,So Calif Coastal |

Any idea what might be responsible? Maybe Rabbits? I have actually seen the rabbits eating my Marigolds. Sue in Mi. Zone 5 |

It's a myth. Marigolds are magnets for spider mites. There is only one variety
of marigold which will help manage root knot nematodes. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/brunswick/ma...r/mg20515.html On Sat, 13 Sep 2003 20:30:21 GMT, opined: I thought Marigolds were so resistant to pests that one plants them alongside others as deterrent!

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. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/brunswick/ma...r/mg20515.html 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. -- Persephone On Sat, 13 Sep 2003 20:30:21 GMT, opined: I thought Marigolds were so resistant to pests that one plants them alongside others as deterrent!

We planted marigolds while blue rug juniper was becoming established.
The first year the marigolds grew and bloomed like weeds, as we deadheaded everyday. (The awful smell was intense on the hands but the color intense). The second year the marigolds were eaten by the slugs, and that is when we stopped growing them. Inspect your plants with a flashlight a couple hours after sunset to check for snails/slugs.
