Some plants thrive in each others’ company. They offer protection from bugs and disease, provide shade and enrich the earth with nutrients. And, some plants do not. The A-Z of Companion Planting explains the theory and the practice. It looks at its usage historically and brings the practice up to date with today’s gardening techniques and our desire for chemical-free vegetables. The author guides you through which crops, herbs, grasses and fruits can be planted together (and equally important, which must not) to make sure that you get the very best crop with the highest yields – and naturally! Combined with a handy, easy to use diagnostic table and clear, easy to understand line drawings.

It has long been observed, by farmers, gardeners and botanists alike, that from time to time certain plants seem to affect certain other plants growing their near them – both favourably and unfavourably. By taking account of these relationships, farmers and gardeners can improve the quality of food and flowers, reduce losses from pests and disease, drought and frost, and enhance both satisfaction and pleasure in their work and financial profit. Years of experimentation by Richard Gregg and subsequently Helen Philbrick and others resulted in this unique reference book. It offers a detailed and comprehensive A-Z of plants and how they affect each other and their surrounding environment, including the soil, insects and birds.
