Calendula serves as a deterrent for common garden pests. Asparagus acts as a repellent for nematodes. Basil is effective in repelling whiteflies, mosquitoes, spider mites, and aphids. Additionally, basil attracts bees, which enhances pollination, improves the health of tomatoes, and enhances their flavor. Dill creates an environment that makes it challenging for cutworms to lay their eggs and also supports parasitic wasps that prey on pest caterpillars. Lastly, thyme reduces the egg-laying activity of armyworms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet\/spicy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eat fresh or add to salads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67562186408154,"sku":"128748","price":3.89,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/9799\/6762\/files\/Mck_Vegetable_128748_Tomato_CherryRoma_front_packet.webp?v=1792198114","url":"https:\/\/petsolutionscanada.ca\/products\/mckenzie","provider":"Pacific Pet Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
