I use green onion around brassicas and basil with my tomatoes.. these two seem to go together as permaculture companions. The tomato also takes on the basil flavour.. NICE!

Great video!

Don't condone killing snails! :(

what month do you plant them in for a fall crop?

Thank you so much, simple and informative.

I plant both Nasturtiums and Marigolds in with my broccoli and have very little problem with cabbage worms. One year I planted Nasturtiums in a window box and that is where I had all the worms. None in my vegie garden. Works wonders and you can eat the Nasturtiums as well.

also I have heard that mixing your different varieties of veggies all over your garden and avoid having to many of the same plant in one area tends to confuse the insects a wide variety of plants. thanks for sharing.

What about spraying a mild dish soap solution on the aphids?

Thank you!
