If your planting fruits and vegetables it helps keep the rabbits and deer away. Another good way to keep them away is get cut hair from the barber shop and put it around the edge.

Marigolds smell bad so they keep rabbits and other pests from eating your vegetables.

They repel snakes!! The odor causes the snakes to change direction. Good luck---
