Some plants, if planted near each other, repel insects. For example, planting white icicle radishes near cucurbits (cucumbers, melons, squash) will repel squash bugs. I tried it one year, and it seemed to work. When I got lazy last year and didn't plant the icicle radishes, my garden was full of squash bugs. Edited by: RLB at: 2/12/01 5:19:11 pm
