Default Tagetes Minuta


Does anyone know where I can buy seeds of Tagetes Minuta.

The plants are supposed to deter ground elder.

Yes I got mine from Chiltern some years ago. I heard on GQT (Bob F)
that it would deter couch grass, but it didn't!

It won't.

However, pick the young ground elder leaves as they appear and prepare
as for spinach.

In the long run, that deters it.

According to the New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary Dictionary of
Gardening (1992), Production of deterrent chemicals does not begin until the
3rd or 4th month after sowing, and plants for this purpose should be sown under
glass in late Winter at 21°C/70°F to be set out after danger of frost.
