ISBN 9781601383457
Many years ago when I grew all of our own vegetables I used companion
planting. I got away from having a garden but feel it is time again to embark
on sustainability. I have forgotten much of how to companion plant so this
book certainly gave me a flashback and brought into light much of what I have
forgotten.
Although it takes time upfront to plan out the garden plot or the container
assembling it is worthwhile. You will find that your plants will flourish but
even more so the need for insecticides or pesticides will be nonexistent. In
fact, with companion planting many good and necessary insects and garden
creatures will be attracted.
One of my favorite herbs is dill. Not only is it easy to grow it is a good
planting companion to cabbage and lettuce by "improving the plants' health and
growth, and does well beside onions, sweet corn, and cucumbers." On the other
hand dill shouldn't be planted by carrots because it will diminish the yield.
As well, putting dill beside tomatoes will attract tomato horn worms. Dill
repels aphids and spider mites but attracts butterflies, bees, and predatory
wasps.
