What Is Companion Planting?

Companion planting is another way of saying polyculture or intercropping and plant associations. It means growing certain plants together to enhance growth and confuse pests. Companion planting used to be dismissed by academia but even scientists are now agreeing that it works.

Look to the hedgerows and woodlands and you will see companion planting in action. Not man made but in nature and made by mother nature. If it works in nature why wouldn’t it work in our gardens?

The problem with us humans is we like everything to be orderly, regimental, and tidy. Nature however, has it’s own order and let’s face it, nature knows best. This planet has been growing plants since before we humans were ever here, but we do things our way.

    Hi

    Having tried and failed many times to grow marigolds that dont get eaten by slugs within 5 minutes of being planted out- I discovered by chance last year that if the are planted with curley parsley they flourish and the slimy little pests keep away. No idea if there is a scientific reason or it was just a fluke- Ill be trying it our again this year.

      Hi Anna,
      that’s interesting, possibly it’s because of the strong aroma from the parsley. I’d be interested to hear if it works again this year.
      Thanks for sharing this information with me.
      All the best
