Onions and beans/peas don't like each other. Well, the onions don't mind but the beans/peas aren't comfortable and won't grow as much.

Onions themselves don't like anything in between, if you grow in rows. The don't like weeds either. Mainly because I believe that their roots are shallow, you have to be quite careful when weeding in between.

What does work though is carrots; if you stick a cane in about 8 or more inches, and wiggle it round so that you get a good cone shaped hole; stick some sand down the hole and pop a few carrot seeds in the top. Then, pull the carrots one by one as they grow [giving you baby carrots], leaving one main one to grow to completion.
