That's a great question because it would sure be great to not have to spray my plants with Neem once a week. I have also been told various types of mint help with that. I have 2 regular mint and 2 peppermint plants behind my ladies. I figure it couldn't hurt.

 

Mangola huh. Interesting!

I use marigolds, basil, nasturtiums, dill, coriander, zinnia

This year I will be adding lavender as well. Have some extra basil packets, will likely plant those in around the tomato's I'm companion cropped.

Last year I had the flowers spreadout the garden and perimeter and a herb patch, this year the herbs will likely be right there under the tomatos

 

Companion planting works! I use marigolds, nasturtium, rosemary, lemongrass, mint, basil and lavender. It creates a great array of aromas throughout the garden. Also most of these are said to repel snakes.

It's not enough. Caterpillars are the biggest threat and only mosquito netting or spraying with BT works.
I tossed out 4 pounds of what should have been my first big outside grow. It was completely infested with Caterpillars and they had shit all through it and every drop of shit forms mold and the entire crop was ruined.
All the sunflowers right next to them were crawling with Catties as was the Cannabis.
Spray every week and run a bug zapper close by.





Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt)
It is a bacterium not a chemical poison. It's destroyed by sunlight in a few hours so it needs to be applied weekly for best protection.
Used extensively on Tomato crops and is Organic list for growing.
