Re: Tomato/onion compatibility


I checked onions in Bob Flowerdew's "Companion Planting" (excellent
book!) - he says onions won't mix with legumes, but are good with 
beets, tomatoes, and lettuce: they may help to deter the slugs.
I have a raised bed full of shallots interplanted with tomatoes and 
catch-crop lettuce and they all seem happy. There's also the old
advice to interplant carrots with onions as each masks the smell of 
the other so you don't get either carrot-fly or onion-fly.
