What are your favorite combinations for companion planting?

but for example with the book 'carrots love tomatoes' well, carrots and tomatoes don't typically grow in the same season here.
I do plant legumes to add nitrogen to the soil and cut it or turn it under prior to planting another crop - which is kind of like companion planting in staggered time? LOL.
Anyway, I know companion planting is a 'hot thing' that new gardeners think will be the magic bullet, but I haven't found it to be so.
Bush beans with marigolds interplanted worked well, too, though it's supposed to take a year or so for the root exudates of the marigold to protect against nematodes in the soil.
Some "traditional" companion plantings haven't worked so well but a lot of standard gardening methods don't work as well for me, I'm gardening in wooden raised beds over very heavy clay soil, and some plants just don't do as well in heavy soil, 'companion' or not. Looking forward to hearing other specific companion plantings that have worked well for folks!
