What plants, flowers or Herbs are natural bug repellents?

Posted by pano | Under Fresh Herbs Friday Aug 13, 2010

I know that Lavender is used in France to keep the scorpians out, and that Fresh Sage and Bay leaves are good, but what other plants, shrubbery or flowers keep the bugs away? I’m in NE Ohio and don’t have a concern about the scorpians but it’s good to know. What would you suggest? Thank you very much!

Marigolds will keep certain vegetable eating bugs away. Farmers plant them with their vegetables for this reason.
