Can anyone tell me plants that go together to protect from pests?

I heard that some plants protect others from pests if you plant them together. Where can I find more on this subject?

It is called companion planting. A classic combination is growing basil and tomatoes next to each other. They keep the pests away from each other and then taste great together in a salad. Perfect!

Reply:Aside from companion planting, look into installing bat houses in your trees and ladybug houses in your garden. I have a pond with a good deal of large koi and goldfish, but they only get the larvae that are laid in the water. Bats are great and they really are harmless. Lady bugs are always fun and they eat up your aphids!



For larger predators, I'm installing a motion sensored water spray! I'm so excited, I just found out about it and we have lots of cats, dogs, owls, raccoons, deer, and even a coyote.
