What about garlic or catnip as companion plants??It works very well . I've
even used garlic chives successfully. You can even make a foliar spray with
garlic powder. Even calendula planted in between, or WHITE geraniums (don't
know why only the white works). I've been using all the old time companion
plants for years and it's worked for me. You also get the added benefit of
additional crops..and NO CHEMICALS.......
