Companion Planting

Create a Flourishing Kitchen Garden By Matchmaking Your Plants
A practical guide to vegetable companion planting combinations to grow in the garden or allotment.

The many benefits of strategically growing vegetables with other plants to enhance their growth, health and flavour.

As beautiful as it is productive, companion planting is a cultivation method that not only reduces the number of pests, but also increases pollination, encourages healthy root systems and even makes edible crops more nutritious. For example, strawberries, marigolds and garlic may seem like an unusual trio, but marigolds release chemicals that reduce the reproduction of aphids, helping to protect all three crops against infestation.
