6 TAGETES – 6.45 - MARIGOLDS TO FEED THE SOIL

 
You Can Chop and Drop Marigolds You Don’t Harvest to Feed the Soil
 
Finally, you can also chop and drop your marigolds at the end of the growing season to add organic matter to the growing areas.
There is some evidence to suggest that this may help to reduce nematode issues. It may not kill the nematodes themselves after the living plants are felled. But it is believed that the increase in organic matter will promote populations of beneficial soil life that will help to keep negative nematode numbers down.
 
How To Incorporate Marigolds in Your Vegetable Garden
 
Longer Lasting Arrangements
 
Marigolds are also a flower that is suitable for drying. To dry your marigolds, you can use a number of different methods.
The easiest method is simply to hang bunches of the flowers to dry in a warm and low humidity area. The area should have good air circulation and be out of direct sunlight. Then simply leave your marigolds to dry there, undisturbed, for 2-4 weeks.
 
You can use dried marigolds in a range of decorative ways around your home.
You can also dry and store the petals for making marigold tea. A tea made from marigolds has a mild, rather bland flavour but gives good colour. Marigold petals are therefore often mixed with other botanicals, like mint, for example.

Unaweza Kukata na Kuangusha Marigodi Usiyovuna ili Kulisha Udongo
 
Hatimaye, unaweza pia kukata na kuacha marigolds yako mwishoni mwa msimu wa kupanda ili kuongeza viumbe hai kwa maeneo ya kukua.
Kuna ushahidi fulani wa kupendekeza kwamba hii inaweza kusaidia kupunguza masuala ya nematode. Huenda isiue nematodi wenyewe baada ya mimea hai kukatwa. Lakini inaaminika kuwa kuongezeka kwa viumbe hai kutakuza idadi ya maisha ya udongo yenye manufaa ambayo yatasaidia kupunguza idadi ya nematode hasi.

Mipango ya Kudumu Zaidi
 
Marigolds pia ni maua ambayo yanafaa kwa kukausha. Ili kukausha marigolds yako, unaweza kutumia njia kadhaa tofauti.
Njia rahisi ni kunyongwa tu mashada ya maua ili kukauka katika eneo la joto na unyevu wa chini. Eneo linapaswa kuwa na mzunguko mzuri wa hewa na kuwa nje ya jua moja kwa moja. Kisha tu kuondoka marigolds yako kukauka huko, bila kusumbuliwa, kwa wiki 2-4.
 
Unaweza kutumia marigolds kavu kwa njia mbalimbali za mapambo karibu na nyumba yako.
Unaweza pia kukausha na kuhifadhi petals kwa ajili ya kufanya chai ya marigold. Chai iliyotengenezwa kutoka kwa marigolds ina ladha isiyo ya kawaida, lakini inatoa rangi nzuri. Kwa hivyo, petals za marigold mara nyingi huchanganywa na mimea mingine, kama vile mint, kwa mfano.
