Title: Tagetes 'tangerine gem'
Post by: Georgie on September 07, 2009, 12:08:52
I had just about decided not to bother to grow Tagetes again (every year they are ruined by the slugs and snails) when I read on another forum that someone has found that slugs and snails leave 'tangerine gem' alone.  Can this be true?

Tagetes are grown for this very reason around my garden and plot Georgie, as a sacrificial plant. All the time they are munching on these, they leave your other plants alone.  ;)

Are you sure this works.  Rather thought that once they got big on one plant they were ready to move onto the next.
