I also find this to be true! We have always planted basil and marigolds around the edge of our garden in a few plants here and there throughout. We have deer, a lot of deer, and it really helps keep them out of the garden. We don’t have slugs or anything like that here, but we do have potato bugs and diatomaceous earth works on them, but if the infestation was bad you still have to pick them off by hand.

I haven’t really experimented with companion planting yet I plan to this season. However does anyone else use dawn and water, or any spices (pepper, garlic, cinnamon, ect)to keep bugs off of vegetables?
