Chives are the secret to keep all your lettuce greens totally pest free #garden #pestcontrol #chives
In this short YouTube clip, Nicole Johnsey Burke shares a simple gardening hack for keeping salad greens free of pests: plant a clump of chives in the center of a salad garden bed. She explains that chives emit a scent that repels the insects that normally eat lettuce, arugula, and other leafy greens. Nicole recounts a personal story about planting chives in her mother’s salad bed a year ago; since then the bed has been continuously seeded and yields abundant, healthy greens, while the chives also add flavor to the harvest. The video’s purpose is to provide a quick, low‑effort, natural pest‑control method that also enhances taste.
