Companion planting is a method of garden used by pairing certain varieties of plants which will benefit one another to help maximize yields, enhance flavors, or distract/deter pests. In this video, I explain my top 5 favorite companion plants and why!

1) Beans and Peas - fix nitrogen in soil, especially good to plant with green plants like spinach, lettuce, kale
2) Allums - deters pests and grows very quickly taking a small amount of space, can be staggered or planted easily in pots with plants where space is limited
3) Marigolds - deters and distracts many types of pests, creates a natural pesticide in soil, works well as companion to many plant varieties
4) Herbs - deters pests and enhances flavor in tomatoes
5) Radishes - also grows where space is limited, will serve as good companion to squash as they deter squash bugs
