But they aren&#8217;t just pretty to look at. They also release a strong scent that is unpleasant to mosquitoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marigold plants contain a natural compound called pyrethrum, which is often used in insect repellents. By adding them to your planter, you&#8217;ll have a colorful and effective mosquito deterrent. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Lavender-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"lavender\" class=\"wp-image-38315\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lavender\"><strong>Lavender<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Lavender&#8217;s soothing aroma is loved by many people, but not so much by mosquitoes. The essential oils in its leaves and flowers contain compounds like linalool and camphor, both of which mosquitoes dislike. Incorporating lavender in your planter will add a nice fragrance to your space and keep mosquitoes away.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mint-1-1024x732.jpeg\" alt=\"mint\" class=\"wp-image-38318\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mint\"><strong>Mint<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Mint&#8217;s fresh scent is another natural mosquito deterrent. It contains menthol, a natural compound that mosquitoes avoid. Besides its repellent properties, mint is also easy to grow.

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-preparing-your-planter\"><strong>Step 1: Preparing Your Planter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Start by finding the perfect location for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/pots-planters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">planter<\/a>. A spot with plenty of sunlight is best, as all three of these plants thrive in full sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, fill your planter with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/potting-soil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">potting soil<\/a>. Make sure to leave about two inches of room at the top. This will help prevent overflow when watering. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-planting-your-marigolds\"><strong>Step 2: Planting Your Marigolds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Using your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/garden-trowels-and-transplanters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trowel<\/a>, dig small holes all around the edge of the planter. Then, gently remove your marigold plants from their containers, and place them into the holes. Firmly pat the soil around the base of each plant to secure it in the planter.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-planting-your-lavender\"><strong>Step 3: Planting Your Lavender<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Dig a hole in the center of the planter, which is where the lavender plant will go. Then, gently place the lavender in the hole, and fill it with soil. Make sure it stands upright and is firmly planted. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4-planting-your-mint\"><strong>Step 4: Planting Your Mint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Plant the mint in all the remaining spaces between the marigolds and lavender. Mint can spread quickly, so allow enough space for it to grow without overcrowding the other plants.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5-watering-and-maintenance\"><strong>Step 5: Watering and Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>After planting, thoroughly water the entire planter. Make sure the soil is evenly moist, but be careful not to overwater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that your planter is complete, be sure to provide the plants with the following regular care:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Watering: <\/strong>Check the soil moisture regularly, and water as needed. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pruning: <\/strong>Trim back any overgrowth to maintain a clean appearance and prevent one plant from dominating the others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Harvesting: <\/strong>Feel free to harvest leaves from the mint and lavender for other uses, such as cooking. This can also help manage their growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a DIY mosquito-repelling planter with marigolds, lavender, and mint is an easy and natural way to enhance your outdoor space and keep mosquitoes at bay. Start this fun and effective project today, and enjoy a mosquito-free yard in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-blue-background-color has-background\">For more how-to guides like this one, check out our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/tag\/gardening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Gardening articles<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating this DIY planter using marigolds, lavender, and mint is an effective way to naturally ward off mosquitoes while enhancing your yard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":38316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1379],"tags":[1487,1489],"content_type":[1371,1373],"class_list":["post-38312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lawn-garden","tag-deck-patio","tag-gardening","content_type-how-to","content_type-article"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Make a DIY Planter with Mosquito-Repelling Plants | Blain&#039;s Farm &amp;
