[Ag-eq] Wilt

[Jewel]

Tracy!  Without knowing what is harming your marigolds and if you are reluctant to apply a chemical 
pesticide, try neem granules scattered on the soil.
I was going to suggest a pyrethrrum spray, but as maris are natural producers of P, I dount that 
winged insects are the problem.

Another of my marigolds is wilting from the top down.  And it was so
beautiful just a few days ago.

The soil feels wet, so that's not it.  Nothing has dug around it or nibbled
it.

I wonder if I have a soil disease.  I've been planting marigolds in the same
place for years, and that may be a bad idea.  It's also gotten a bit shady,
and I put down some old straw as a mulch, so I may have introduced some
mold, though things don't feel moldy.

I guess next year would be a good time to put some pretty veg in front, and
move the marigolds elsewhere.
