This is one of my favorite lists: http://www.squidoo.com/toptencompanionplants

Your family will love the bounty and it’s good for getting kids outdoors when you need to weed, water and harvest. I don’t like to use commercial items either. I’ve had so much success using cayenne pepper in my garden to keep squirrels away that I’ve committed to keeping things as natural as possible. Don’t be afraid to check with a local University that has an agriculture or horticulture program, they are a wealth of free info. The U of M in MN is awesome for questions like yours. The first thing I would try is the dish soap and water. You can use the sprayer bottles that are intended for hooking up to your garden hose for spraying weed killer. I’m not sure of a ratio but Google it and see what comes up, you have nothing to lose. 2nd try would involve the mint oil or extract & water. Good luck and keep us posted on what works…..
