I think it's brilliant, and have been doing so for years. Marigolds are my favourite companions as they shield the smell of Onions and Carrots. For more info follow the link http://www.the-gardeners-calendar.co.uk/Guides/story.asp?nid=2146

By using wildflowers you also bring in natural predators i.e ladybirds.

I love growing conflowers (and you can cut some for the house) and the bees love them, also they seem to go crazy for borage and it has such pretty flowers too! :) x
