In our experience, planting both, liberally, results in reduced bug damage and healthier vegetables and yes, even fruit trees. Nasturtiums are also good (but harder to grow). If you really want to get fussy, there is a whole science called "companion planting" that tells you, for instance, that onions and beans hate each other. You can reach a certain "critical mass" with marigolds (and garlic too for that matter) where they keep coming up each year, everywhere, even after rototilling. You pull them like weeds where they're not welcome and let them grow everywhere else. Very pretty and effective too. One more neat idea... if you plant enough varieties of stuff, you are certain of SOMETHING doing well ANY year! Satisfaction guaranteed...
