Companion Planting Chart For 10 Popular Vegetables
Did you know that…
– Some vegetable garden plants should NOT be planted next to each other.
– Other vegetables LOVE to grow next to each other…
Certain plants, when grown together, improve each other’s health and yields.
For instance, some plants attract beneficial insects that help to protect a companion, while other plants (particularly herbs) act as repellents.
Additionally, plants that require a lot of the same nutrients as their neighbors may struggle to get enough for themselves, producing lackluster crops.

Tip: Flowers, especially Marigolds are as good as gold when grown with just about any garden plant. They will naturally control pests and attract beneficial pollinator insects, which will increase the fruit-set.
Tip: Separate foes and friends on opposite sides of the garden, or at least 4 feet away.
