Next year I found it seeds had gone everywhere in the garden. Many tomato insect pests were repelled by the garlic. But the bees still came and did not even sting me in retaliation.
I do not know about deer and other pesky animals, if smell can deter them.

perhaps some very hot peppers as a barrier?
