About this book

Starting with the basics of organic gardening, such as how to prepare soil and the importance of cover crops and organic fertilizer, here—in full-color—are the principles of companion planting, how plants interact, and how to cultivate a healthy garden. Companion planting techniques have been used for centuries to facilitate better, more nutritious, and more abundant crops. Did you know:

Beets will grow better if surrounded by mint or garlic,
Tomatoes should not be planted near cabbage
Flax helps protect some root vegetables from pests
Tomatoes will thrive when planted near carrots (though the carrots may be stunted).
Celery will be happier if it's far away from corn
Broccoli and dill make a terrific garden pair.

It's a lot to think about, but there's no reason to feel overwhelmed.
