Do chives repel anything?
Yes, chives are known for their natural pest-repellent properties. Their strong onion-like scent helps deter common pests such as aphids, Japanese beetles, snails, and slugs. Plants Not To Grow With Chives Poor companions include asparagus, beans, peas, and spinach, which all require very rich soil for good growth. Chives will compete with these plants for moisture and nutrients, and in the case of asparagus, chives may severely stunt its growth.
