Using marigolds to ward off bugs reminds me of my garden 5 yrs ago when I first heard to plant them around the garden and it will keep the bunnies / bugs etc away. So as phase 2 of my plant security, I installed one of those net type fences around it. Then row after row of marigolds all the way around it. Those flowers took off as well as the other plants and made the place look beautiful.....But the best part of it all was the bunnies liked to live in the big clumps of marigolds (I was told they would keep bunnies away) and when I would walk back to the garden, they would spring out of their hiding place to the other side and hit the fence...stretch it to the breaking point with their little snouts mashed and their eyes squinting and spring back like they were hit with a tennis racket....then do it again...most of the time it would take them maybe 2 or 3 tries at finding their little hole in the fence inside the marigolds....I couldn't wait each morning to flush them out of the bushes..and have a fun game of tennis....lmao
