F/U to companion planting

SuperGreen

I answered that post late, so I thought I would make my response a new post.  I want to try companion planting too, and have heard nothing but good things about the book Carrots Love Tomatoes.  Last year, our carrots loved our tomatoes so right off the bat I think this book is spot on!

 

This gardening classic was first published in 1975, and now a second generation of gardeners who prefer pest-resistant planning to chemicals will find a place for it on the shelves. Not only does it tell what to plant with what, but also how to use herbal sprays to control insects, what wild plants to encourage in the garden, how to grow fruit and nut trees, how to start small plots or window-box gardens, and much more. It's one of the most practical books around for any gardener of edibles, no matter how serious or casual.

I have that book checked out from the library right now and am using it to help plan some aspects of my garden. I second it!

That does look like a great read! I might have to buy it! Anyone who wants a simple chart of garden friends and enemies, I can email it to you, so feel free to PM me!

I requested that book from the library and I'm anxious to read it. My first year doing a garden, so I need all the help I can get!
