Planting Rosemary Near Your Garden Gate Has One Major Benefit
By DANIELLE RAMOS-SULLIVAN
Planting rosemary near your garden gate serves as a natural and effective way to repel pests and protect both your plants and home, eliminating the need for chemical pesticides.
The essential oils present in rosemary leaves release a strong aroma that deters various insects, including flies, mosquitoes, carrot flies, and cabbage moths.
Moreover, rosemary attracts beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, aiding in natural pest management by introducing predators and competitors to the
pest population.
While rosemary provides targeted defense when planted near susceptible plants, it is important to note that it may not fully eliminate severe pest infestations.
