Uses of Dill Plants in Permaculture
Fernleaf Dill is also an excellent herb for attracting beneficial insects to your garden, such as ladybugs and hoverflies. These insects are natural predators of pests such as aphids and whiteflies and can help keep your garden healthy and pest-free. It’s notably a good companion for cabbages, onions, lettuce and peas.
