Companion Plants Bring Harmony to the Garden

The following are important advantages to planting certain vegetables near other certain vegetables in your garden:

• As an effective way to minimize the need for insecticide.

• Attract insects that are beneficial to the growth of the vegetables.

• Repel harmful insects.

• Help amend the soil with nutrients for other plants that require them.

• Take up nutrients from the soil more than other plants.

This guide describes the companion planting method and plants that work well together.
