Hiya Jonny.
I know you've posted twice - I thought you were trolling ... sorry )

Here is a site which is a good start.
http://www.organicgardening.org.uk/factsheets/gg44.php

Also:-
Basil improves the flavour of many garden vegetables, specifically
tomatoes
and lettuce, and repels flies and mosquitoes

Borage near strawberries and tomatoes attracts bees, which help to
improve crop yield by pollinating plants

That comes from: http://www.thecei.org.uk/Beanstalk/companion_plants.htm

Comfrey Tap roots bring minerals to the surface of the soil.

And: http://www.thecei.org.uk/Beanstalk/companion_plants.htm

Dill and fennel attract hoverflies, which then eat aphids. Dill grows
well
next to lettuce and cucumbers

Goodness gracious me. Imagine, so does this:

Garlic and chives keep away aphids and black spot and planted round
fruit trees/ bushes discourage insects from climbing the trunk. Garlic
also improves the growth and health of raspberry bushes and can enhance
the production of oils in herbs Chives enhance the flavour and growth
of tomatoes, carrots, apples, berries and grapes.

And whoop de doo here it is again:

So, you fraud, would you like to tell us how all this worked for you when
you tried it out? I have found the web site from which you have filched
this material but to which you make no attribution. Why do you do that?
