Book Description
"A healthy and fruitful garden requires more than soil, sunlight, water, and fertilizers. What to plant close together and what to plant far apart depends on how many areas you have available and whether or not your plants can benefit from each other. Some of life's worst aspects can be avoided by surrounding yourself with supportive friends. Even your plants know this! Companion planting is the practice of cultivating two plants near together for the benefit of one or both. One-sided or reciprocal benefits are therefore possible. To attract pollinators, plant nectar-rich flowers among the crops, or plant two vegetables to repel and confuse pests...As in farmer's almanacs and other forms of garden wisdom, companion planting is generally based on observation. What works best for one person may not work for another. To make better plant selections, it may be helpful to view the garden as a biodiversity system where plants are interconnected and dependent on one another."--Introduction.
