The marigolds will be left to their own devises. I'm only really growing them to dig back into the soil, as they are good for nematode control. Apparently nematodes can help viruses spread between crops and someone suggested to me that my very spindly unhealthy crop of tomatoes a few months ago might have been caused by a virus. So, being an extremely unscientific gardener I thought it was worth a stab. So bed #3 is resting with a covering of marigolds.
