Today I want to share the new philosophy we are doing this year for our garden. Its called companion gardening. The idea behind it is that plants have different properties that help or hurt each other. They make good ‘companions’ for growing. For example marigolds: The workhorse of pest deterrents; keeps soil free of nematodes; discourages many insects.
So we are inter-mixing our plants in the garden and applying this. Not only do I like how it looks but I think it will be better all the way around for the plants as they can ‘help’ each other. As we experiment with this plan this year I hope to learn more and figure out how to plan and inter-mix my veggies to make it look even better next year!
