Companion planting is the practice of enhancing your crop production by growing combinations of different plants close together. Some combinations can significantly benefit plants and enrich the soil, while others can negatively affect crops.
Companion planting is a gardening technique consisting of planting different crops together to improve their health and productivity. Companion planting has many benefits. It optimizes productivity in gardens with limited space and can help prevent pest infestations and disease.
One of the most exciting aspects of companion planting is that different combinations of plants can have various benefits, so the technique is ideal for gardeners who enjoy experimentation.
Companion planting can be more complex than it sounds. Not every combination works, and some species can have a negative impact on others. Walnuts, for instance, secrete a poisonous chemical that can damage most other crops, and potatoes are best grown away from eggplants and other nightshades because they will compete for nutrients.
