| Companion planting is a method of growing plants together, with the idea that they will assist each other in some way, like deterring pests, improving growth, enhancing flavour, attracting beneficial insects,or fixing nitrogen. But, just as we have good neighbours, there are bad neighbours as well. Some plants really dislike each other, and shouldn't be planted in close quarters. The long tradition of intentionally interplanting indicates that there is truth in the benefits of companion planting. Much of the information you can find about companion planting is based on long-standing traditions, and not supported by actual scientific proof. Your home garden is the best place to conduct your own experiments, and see what actually works for you. If you decide to try companion planting, set up your plots of planting carefully, and keep records of what you observe. Don't expect miracles, but instead use companion planting as just one part of your garden management program. | ||
