  Not all bad, I guess. At least marigolds are good to look at!  :)

    If you go yard sailing, try and find an old blender that still works. You 
can use this to blenderize the marigolds, then pour the mix into the spot you 
want it. If you can pull the plants out by the roots it will be more 
effective. This is a little faster, and is a method you can use for lots of 
different things. But you don't want to use your regular blender for this. 
Not if you plan to make some of the better natural bug repellants! UGH!
