Marigolds are beautiful flowers, but did you know that they also have many other uses around the home. Here are a few of the common ways natural solutions you can make using Marigolds.
- Plant the flowers around your house, to repel insects like mosquitos.
- Put clipped flowers in you chicken laying boxes to eliminate mites.
- Create a natural insect repellant for your garden plants.
- Make herbal tea with the flowers that will assist with cramps and muscle spasms.
- Crush and boil the flowers to create a colored dye for textiles.

So beautiful, I will try to plant this flower in my small garden this year. Do they need a lot sun? I live In Norway so maybe is to cold for it. Thanks for the post @tincanjuction you have my upvote and I follow you now ;)
Thanks for your reply. I don't know if they will grow in your area. I know that Marigolds can grow in full sun to partial shade. They are hardy plants and don't require much water.
Good luck
