I've always heard, and I'm not sure if its true or not, that if you have a veggie?

Question

garden, that if you plant a row of onions in between every row of veggies, that it will stop the bugs. Is it true?

Answer 1

Onions repel some insects but they also repel other plants!  Tomatoes, peas and beans don't like onions, for instance.

But none of this means that you CAN'T grow onions next to other vegetables, or that all insects and pests hate onions.

Answer 2

No it's not true.  Onions won't deter insects.  In fact there are insects and worms that eat onions.

Answer 3

Cotton Lavander, French Marigolds.

Answer 4

No,but you will end up with a lot of onions.

Answer 5

Don't think this works.  We had beets next to onions and the leaves of the beets were eaten by insects anyway.

Answer 6

Connie G has the correct answer..this is called "companion planting"..some vegetables should not be planted near other veggiess..here is a basic chart..
