Best plants for cucumber and squash.

21 years ago

What are the best plants to plant with squash and cucumbers to repel the squash borer and cucumber bug or bugs. I always get nice producing plants but they soon wither and die. I am Practicing notill with lots of compost and mulch. Any help in this area would greatly be appreciated.
