Plant basil next to your tomato plant, this is a “natural” remedy for pest control. A lot of companion planting depends on your environment, so use each companion plant as a tool in your battery of defences for your spring-summer planting woes. Basil is a natural deterrent for many pests including tomato hornworms, white flies, aphids and more.  Other companion plants are:
