Planting - A
Complete Guide to Growing Healthy Plants
By
creating a healthy garden
and lifestyle you will regain energy levels, help restore your immune
system
and give yourself and your family the best chance of living long, happy
& healthy lives.
Over
countless centuries
gardeners have been keen observers of nature, noticing how plants
perform
depending on their surroundings. When people discovered combinations
that
worked well or observed the relationship a particular plant had with
certain
insects, their experiences were passed on to the next generation.
Laboratory
research can now
prove that certain plants contain insecticides. There are many proven
examples
of plants that benefit others, such as French Marigolds that can be
used
to clear the ground of nematodes. The nematodes are attracted to the
roots
of the Marigold where they are unable to breed. The next generation of
nematodes are greatly reduced or eliminated. This is an effective
method
of protection for a crop susceptible to nematodes - such as tomatoes -
especially if the Marigolds are planted heavily in an area a season
before
planting the desired crop. ORDER
