Just a question on companion planting s/sprout?

As a rule I don't have any problem with aphids on my tomatoes or in my greenhouse for that matter.

I have often thought if I were to use your method do you think I would be plagued by aphids attracted to the companion plants?

I see it as a catch 22 situation what do you and the others think?

'My method'  hehehehe
I planted all together for the first time this year.
Just waiting to see what happens Tee Gee! ::)
Apparently marigolds are good companions also because their roots and tomato roots enjoy growing together :D
