I can't take credit for this, although I was doing something similar.
Simply plant a clove of garlic when you transplant to the final container. 1 or 2 near the edge and zero bugs.
I had hid my spring crop among the garlic I had growing and had zero bug problems. Posted about this on another site and another member showed me pics of garlic he had growing in the same pots with his mj.
I had never considered this, but it was so simple, cheap and effective.
You won't get any garlic, since that is a 8 month grow cycle, but you will get bug protection, garlic chives and loads of mycorrhizae. Myco's love the Allium family (garlic, onions, etc) and are used to grow yer own.
Helpful Hint: Put the garlic you are going to plant in the fridge for a day or 2. The cold is a trigger for them to sprout. You plant garlic after the first frost normally and before the ground freezes.
