Companionplanting is when you want to garden the natural way,
Clever gardeners have recently rediscovered this old and simple technique, which makes a lot of sense. Some plants grow in harmony with others, because their needs compliment each other.
*Species with different water and nutrient requirements grow well side by side, because they are not in competition with each other.
*Shallow rooted plants thrive near deep rooted plants, because these loosen the soil, and provide good drainage for the shallow rooted plants.
*Tall plants provide shade for smaller plants
*Some species expel aromas which discourage certain insects, and are of great benefit when growing near plants susceptible to attack.
*Certain species have roots that give off nitrogen, and help those plants that need plenty of this fertiliser.
