Ok, people.  I've read enough conflicting information about marigolds, I =
thought I would post my question here: are there truly benefits to =
planting marigolds other than suppression of nematodes?  I know it is a =
myth that the odor will ward off other pests (rabbits, etc.).  I also =
know they tend to attract spider mites and slugs. . . but are there true =
benefits?

Thanks in advance
