Uses in plant cultivation Retzius also describes how farmers would plant chives between the rocks making up the borders of their flowerbeds, to keep the plants free from pests (such as Japanese beetles).[10][12] The growing plant repels unwanted insect life, and the juice of the leaves can be used for the same purpose, as well as fighting fungal infections, mildew and scab.[13][14][15] Its flowers are attractive to bees, which are important for gardens with an abundance of plants in need of pollination. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chives
