Marigolds for protection outdoor grow

[Costermunger]

I usually use blood meal around the garden to keep pests and animals out like wolves, coyotes rabbits and squirrels. This year I am thinking of adding some marigolds too because I read that animals don't like marigolds. Has anyone got any other outdoor pest tips?

Chicken wire, mesh netting, urine. Have read about using marigolds. They are supposed to protect against ground hogs and such. I have never tried this thou.

A gun joking

Why joking?? I see a ground hog it's gotta go. Sorry. Can break my leg stepping in a hole. We have many of them. The cool part about the only cool part, is the ground hog holes attract foxes and foxes dont eat greens. So good there.

I recently started using a product I bought at tractor supply called Repels All its cloves and garlic and some egg thing mixed into a dry pellet powedery stuff. Sprinkle some around the plants and only had 1 issue so far. Have a trail cam on my patch so see lots of critters but they take a sniff and keep going.
