What companion plants are best for deterring aphids and whiteflies?
I'm currently setting up a mixed garden with both flowers and vegetables in my backyard. I’ve heard that certain companion plants can help deter pests like aphids and whiteflies. My main concern is ensuring that the companion plants will not only keep pests away but also not compete for nutrients with my veggies. I already have marigolds and am wondering if adding herbs like basil or dill would be beneficial. What are the most effective companion plants I can integrate into my layout for pest control? Any tips on spacing and placement would also be super helpful! 🌼
