planting companion plants around pot to repel bugs/pests...

im planting 10 clones outdoors quite soon. i won't be able to protect them from everything but i will do my best. im going to plant some companion plants around them to repel off the pests.

i plan to plant alyssum, and chamomile around the feet of the plants since they don't root very far, and chamomile induces oil production, well so i've heard anyways.. then i'll plant marigolds around the boreder of the bed.

then i want to plant borage, tansy, and garlic like a foot or 2 away from them so they don't over compete with my weed.

are these good ideas? will this work? any thing else i should know?

i cant exacly grow that many plants, especially cullinary herbs, next to my weed lol. i only want a couple to ward off bugs and i dont want to spend all my money on companion plants.
