How can I integrate citronella into my permaculture design effectively?
I'm deeply passionate about permaculture and am looking to integrate citronella into a diverse ecosystem in my urban garden in San Diego. My goal is to create a self-sustaining environment that effectively repels pests while supporting beneficial insects. I've been experimenting with different planting arrangements, but I'm wondering how to best use citronella within this design. Should I plant them in clusters, or spread them out among other plants? What combinations or layering techniques have you found effective to ensure they thrive while still serving their pest-repelling role? I would love to hear your strategies!
