Beginners Guide to Companion Planting: Gardening Methods using Plant Partners to Grow Organic Vegetables

Knowing why tomatoes and carrots are good friends, while beans and peppers hate each other, will change the yield game completely

Relationships in a vegetable garden can be as complex as human interactions.

Spinach adores the curly and juicy cauliflower.

Asparagus, on the other hand, really, really, really cannot stand potatoes.

While these claims may seem somewhat ridiculous at first, they form the basis of companion planting.

Growing symbiotic plants alongside each other can give your garden a ton of benefits, especially if you want to enjoy pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide-free crops.

The use of companion plants is a powerful technique that has been utilized for centuries. Native

Americans knew the power of growing some plants together. They relied on the Three Sisters method that gave them delicious corn, healthy beans, and ripe squash.

Even contemporary research supports the use of companion plants.

When done correctly, companion planting can reduce leaf damage caused by disease and pests by over 60%. Yes, that result can be accomplished without chemicals and poisons seeping into the soil.

Companion planting, however, is not for the clueless.
