  • Beetles bothering a plant? Try establishing a Rosemary plant nearby. It contains a substance that shoos them away.
  • Slugs and snails taking over their gardens? These pests are dispelled by Monarda (Bee Balm), Thyme, Sanguinaria canadensis (Bloodroot) and Caulophyllum thalicthroides (Blue Cohosh).
  • Troubled by eelworms? As these pests dislike many culinary herbs, suggest planting basil, mint, thyme, rosemary, summer savoury, bay and lavender. Many of these herbs are so attractive that they also make a welcome addition to the ornamental garden.
