  • Companion planting

    We started to discuss Companion planting in another thread and it was starting to get interesting, so I have started a new thread with that title in the hope that we could put all the same information together.
    I'm still reading the book I bought by Bob Flowerdew but as I think I mentioned before; there is lots of information but it is all spread out with out individual plants receiving their own section. It makes it rather hard to get all the information I need to start planing my raised beds for next year.
    I'm sure I'm not the only one drooling over seed catalogues at this time of year.
    I went and Goggled the subject under the search "Companion vegetables" and I found a few good sites with helpful information. Here are the links to see what everyone thinks.

    Vegetable Companion Chart
    vegetable and herbs which grow well together
    Companion plants "long list"

    I hope this will help me next year as I wish to be as chemical free as I can. After all, the things I put on my plants will only end up on my dinner table, and I am not so keen on greenfly and bugs either I prefer my proteen to to have less legs (2&4 only) or fins.

    Just thought I would add a link to take people to the good tips by Geordie and Rachel that prompted me to start a new thread for Companion planting.

        Thanks Jaxom for the links. I started off a thread last week re companion planting, not realising it had already been done!
        Thanks
