Start a sustainable organic garden in no time with: Beginners Guide to Companion Planting! Relationships in a vegetable garden can be as complex as human interactions. Knowing why tomatoes and carrots are good friends, while beans and peppers hate each other, will change the yield game completely! Growing symbiotic plants alongside each other can give your garden a ton of benefits, especially if you want to enjoy herbicide, and fungicide-free crops. In Beginners Guide to Companion Planting, you will discover: The millennial wisdom of companion planting rediscovered – from the Ancient Greeks to modern farmers How to use plants for natural pest control, soil fertilization, and optimization of yields – one secret that professional agriculturists don’t want you to know Plants that love each other and hateful pairs that should never come together The beautiful flowers that can repel or even kill pesky insects The power of herbs in the garden, and why you should always plant this one specific herb next to your veggies How to bring good bugs into the garden and make them stay Advanced companion planting techniques (even some long-timers are unaware of these!) Extensive charts and appendices that will demystify companion planting once and for all Examples of Good and Bad Neighbours Companion planting takes a slight change in mindset to the traditional vegetable garden planting that you have probably always been accustomed to. What you're trying to do now is create communities of plants that benefit one another and avoid those traditional rows and blocks of plants. For example, flowering plants inserted randomly into these patches of vegetables break up the consistency and are thought to confuse many insects. The Orchard Fruit trees can also benefit from companion planting. Very often, the same companion plants can be used, but people simply don't know what to plant with their fruit trees, or they simply don't think of combining plant companions with trees. There is another factor that comes into play when you have an orchard. Some fruit trees will not set fruit if they are not pollinated from the flowers of another tree. This means that having the right companions nearby is not just a luxury: it is imperative if you are going to have fruit. The Ornamental Garden When laying out the ornamental garden, the gardener is faced with a huge variety of choices and problems, including the colour spectrum, shape and form and the necessity for one plant to start flowering just as another starts to go over. Many of the plants discussed in this book will produce exactly the same benefits in the ornamental garden as they would in the vegetable or herb garden. Where things become a little more complicated is that we are now looking for a visual effect and some of those plants could well clash with what we are trying to achieve either from a colour or form perspective. Know Who Your Friends Are Beneficial insects can be crucial to organic gardening, because they provide a powerful element of pest control, as you are unable to simply use toxic chemical controls. In order to garden successfully without pesticides, you need to become something of an amateur entomologist, because otherwise, it is almost impossible to differentiate friend from foe. We will be taking a look at some of the main players who will assist you in your fight against pests.
