RE: Chat: Lasgana Beds, now Companion Plants

I always planted marigolds in among my vegetables, especially tomatoes, as
companion plants to help with nematodes, snails, slugs, etc.  I also used
garlic and onions in my rose beds (for aphids), and other odds and ends of
companion planting whenever I learned about new ones.  My flower and veggie
beds had a sort of "mixed salad" look, but it seemed to work pretty well.
Do you think your marigolds are serving a dual purpose?
