My balcony aphid invasion taught me to question companion planting dogma.
I followed advice to plant marigolds for natural pest control, but it backfired. After research, I realized companion planting isn't foolproof and switched to integrated pest management. What unconventional solutions have you tried when standard practices failed?

Stubbornly cling to companion planting but with a more strategic approach. My nasturtiums became an aphid magnet too, but that was the point they lured them away from my beans and attracted ladybugs for a free feast. Sometimes the "failure" is just the system working as intended, just not how we pictured it.
