I often have Basil in the glass house. Probably just an old wives tale.

Many years ago I noticed that a row of brussells sprouts I had interplanted with onions were free of aphids while another row planted alone was infestated with them
Ever since then I like to grow onion or chives or garlic in close proximity to plants that are susceptible to aphid attack, it seems to work.I think that there may be something in the root or smell that discourages aphids.

Garlic, Marrigolds, Onions and chives all appear to ward off insects in the garden. Some of the African marrigolds with a higher pyrithrem content work better, your local garden shop will help you. There are no doubt other plants as well which others may advise on here.

I plant a lot of Blue Borage in my garden. Bees love it , it self sows and it's a good companion plant
