    Calendula and marygold have another quality too: their roots kill nematodes in the soil. I plant them with my tomatoes. In german traditional gardens there is always calendula together with cabbage. Our ancestors knew about it. Nasturtium leaves are also a mild antibiotic. Dry the leaves and grind them. Combined with horseradish (anti-viral) it will help when you got a cold.

    When you said Mint, I started to get worried, but then you clarified not to put it in the garden. My mom has a persistent mint and chive infestation that has even spread to the yard. There are patches that smell quite...fragrant when mowed, lol.
    Just this past year we tried a bit of nasturtium, but probably not enough. Great to see how close you can jam things and still get a great harvest. We'll pack things in a little closer next year and definitely give the spring onion and garlic a try.

We recently limbed a tree to make more sun for our garden and so I chopped up all the wood. We live in a village--looks similar to your situation so I'm not too keen on burning in the fire pit as much as I'd like. I'm sneaking up on the abandoned lot next door and I'm going to use the wood like you did as a border. I also have procured 5 tires so far to use as planters. Really informative. Thanks again.

    I was overtaken with my chocolate mint and pulled it all out years ago, before I really got into gardening. Now I miss it and wish I would have just figured out how to section it off. So I bought more and made a separate mint garden. Orange, chocolate, and lemon mint, so I can use it in recipes. I plant to make a blended mixture of insect repelling herbs and spray it on the perimeter to deter rabbits and chipmunks. I have also heard you can take sprigs of the mint and just lay them throughout the garden,

    Thank you so much I just discovered your channel today and it really really appreciate all the information that you give an explanation as to why because a lot of channels first of all give misinformation and second of all they don’t say why and I always have to end up googling everything and going down all these rabbit holes✌🏻😘

    Fastest way to make pest-deterrent onions: cut 2" off root end of green onions, put in water, then plant in dirt!

    Thanks so much for sharing. I love your high density method. I do the same thing. Plants love to be close together. My garden is my best teacher.

    Fabulous as always, got heaps of calendula seeds, popping them in tomorrow with my half eaten new broccoli, been using the chilli spray at night to deter the blighters. It Just All Makes Sense THANKS

    Do marigolds really repel pest or they just attract them, hence keeping them away from the other plants?

    Great info. Definitely going to do this. I'm getting a late start, hopefully going to start planting today. Got a few seeds started inside, not much though.

    Yarrow is another that comes to mind excellent for insect repellent.

    Dang it I wish I had seen this about a month ago as I plan on planting my cabbage and other brassicas this weekend. There's a few self sown calendula plants out there but the garlic and onion sets are a great idea. Do these plants deter rabbits? Major problem in our garden. You're a great teacher Nate..especially making JADAM seem easy. Ive read most of the book but got overwhelmed and gave up on the concept. Oh and gingers have a special place in my heart as my husband has red hair too.

    If you are having problems with flies of any sort in your trash. Toss in some mint. Rural King started selling mint scented trash bags that work wonders.

      Also I hadn't thought about fennel being a pest detected in the garden even tho I used it internally for similar reasons 🤦
