    Hi Maximus,

    I did a google on mint rust and found that it also effects marjoram.

    Here's some sites about good and bad combos of companion plants. Not everything you mention is here. but maybe a google with terms like:
    basil + companion
    turmeric + companion
    and so on. Tumeric is related to ginger but may need special growing conditions.

    Here's those links on companion planting.

    Guess you could call it an experiment to see if it gets mint rust!
