Companion planting is the strategic placement of plants in close proximity of each other to allow you to maximize the use of space while taking advantage of the natural abilities of each plant.
Companion planting is centuries-old and can still be used to give gardeners excellent results today. When done correctly, it can reduce leaf damage caused by disease and pests by over 60%. Yes, that result can be accomplished without chemicals and poisons seeping into the soil.
Growing symbiotic plants alongside each other can give your garden a ton of benefits, especially if you want to enjoy pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide-free crops.
There’s no need to buy expensive equipment or heavily rely on chemical products to keep garden problems in check. In fact, most of these can be reduced in severity or eliminated altogether in a completely natural way, you’ll simply need to be smart about the approaches you choose and tailor them to your particular situation.
