Hi Jean.
Thanks for your suggestion, a new one to me, I shall give this a try, this is quite a coincidence as I have some spare marigolds left which I have no spare room in the garden for.
Cheers. DAVE

 

Hello Dave

This sounds like Grey mould, ventilation may be your problem, along with planting the plants too close.

I used to suffer with it when I had a small greenhouse, but since I got a larger one, no problems (so far).
