I've stopped growing tomatoes etc in mine - OH wasn't too impressed, and it seemed an awful hassle for little appreciation.

However, be that as it may, I used to grow some french marigolds around each plant, and that seemed to keep the nasty little critters away.

Me too, by accident! i had grown some marigolds and forgot to plant them out so they sat in the greenhouse and the toms were healthy and pest free all season. That was a couple of years ago at Kennethmont and i will do it again as soon as i have my polytunnel set up.

I loathe their scent, but I shall still grow a few for the greenhouses. Memo to self: put a clothes peg by the door for greenhouse work.

Tagetes are renowned for that. Works for some but not others.

I'll get around to it eventually
