natural pest control

I came across this:

Mint: plant with tomatoes and cabbage; deters ants, fleas, aphids, cabbage moths, rodents, attracts earthworms

Alfalfa: plant with lettuce, beans, and other legumes; adds nitrogen, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium

Scented marigold: plant with everything; in dense clusters this flower emits a substance that drives away nematodes; near tomatoes it can deter whiteflies

Lavender: plant with roses, alliums, fruit trees; discourages fleas and moths while drawing beneficial insects like bees, lady bugs, praying mantises

Nasturtium: plant with cabbage, cucumbers, radishes and fruit trees; repels squash bugs, whiteflies, and cucumber beetles; blooms prevent aphids from nibbling fruit trees

Garlic: plant with roses, raspberries, cucumbers, peas, lettuce, celery; keeps aphids off roses, repels Japanese beetles and spider mites

Sweet Alyssum: plant with potatoes, broccoli, beans, corn and eggplant; attracts predatory wasps and hoverflies, which devour aphids

Borage: plant with strawberries, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes; wards off tomato worms, adds trace minerals, helping boost disease resistance in nearby plants
