My ganja garden is edged on the outside by varying types of canna lily because they grow big and tall. Those combined with clematis on trellis’ keep neighbors and people on the lake oblivious. I do nothing for smell because my neighbors are far enough away that I’m not worried, and realistically I’m not sure it’d matter. Even with flower gardens and the lake breeze, even in veg the yard smells of sweet skunk.

chrysanthemums, they have a strong but pleasant smell, and repel many insects (mums are the source of pyrethrins)
gardenias and jasmine are also good for covering up odors, as well as rosemary.if you have mums and gardenias up your front walk, and rosemary and jasmine in your back yard, you could have skunks living with you and no one would smell it.

I had some chocolate mint in pots around my grow last year. I also had a citronella. I would walk by a brush the plant and the lemony smell was great. I think it kept some bugs away. But I grew some bush beans around my corn and had 15 foot corn plants. I was thinking of trying with my cannabis this year because beans are nitrogen fixers,meaning they take nitrogen from the air and redistribute it in little nodes along their roots. Then I chop them down just before the start producing beans. I think this helps. The native Americans used to plant three sisters. Which was corn mixed with beans and squash. The squash leaves would shade the ground like a living mulch.

I've never heard of nematodes a being bad. Is it the type of nematode? Are they damaging your roots? I'm try to wrap my head around organics. And I thought they were good for eating bad bugs and then die off when they run out of food.
I just added some to help fight fungus gnats in my earthboxes.
I know there are different kinds like the ones for grubs in you lawn, there are also the ones I got that go after the gnat larvae.

My roots are being effected greatly. To a point the roots become lumpy and not branching out. Vegi's are having trouble producing and even staying alive at times. Nematodes are enemy number one in my garden. The caterpillars are easy to spot and kill, the dam nemo's are underground and I don't like pesticide...however i used some because I felt helpless, now i await the next season with high hopes for less worms

Beneficial Nematodes found in worm castings really works well. I saw a farmer on YouTube that solved his Nematode problem with topping the soil in a layer of worm castings. I'm doing that but am gonna get some of those French Marigolds for sure!My roots are being effected greatly. To a point the roots become lumpy and not branching out.

I'm growing a lot of Garlic throughout my yard. The logic was that Garlic attracts a lot of Myco fungi and keeps the colony active during the off season as well as boosted on season. It also repells some harmful insects and also seems to be repelling crab grass which is really cool.

I wish I had taken some photos of my tomato plant's root system. It was very sickly however did produce nice tomatoes. I unfortunately was impatient and killed everything with a pesticide, but garlic is magnificent. Thats the next big thing for my garden, this year I'm going into cloves
no pun intended

I'm really liking Garlic , not sure if they repel Nematodes but I've never seen lumps on any of the roots so maybe they do.I wish I had taken some photos of my tomato plant's root system.

I grow three rows of Mexican Blue Maiz (11 foot high) corn right next to my girls and then a row of Better Boy tomatoes in XL tomato cages for concealment and kitchen use.
