Organic Gardening With Good Companion Plants
I’m a strong believer in organic gardening (as you might have guessed) and one technique I love to use is Companion Planting. Basically, planting groups of plants together that help each other in some way. Often it’s to confuse insects with a vast variety of smells or textures.
Some plants benefit others by attracting pollinators or detering nematodes. You get the idea. Anyway, a “Go Organic Club” subscriber sent me in a few photos of the companion planting he’s got happening in his organic garden.
He’s got lovely combinations of vegetables, flowers and herbs. Thanks Robert Esparza for sharing your garden. I really appreciate it! Your veggie plot looks really healthy.
Give companion planting a go. I’m sure the benefits are measurable mostly by the healthy, tasty produce you get from garden.
Happy Organic Gardening, Healthy Living…

Julie, the pdf files on composting did not come with the e-mails or I do not know how to open them, There were no attachments and your web site would not open. Was there more than the comment about not palnting GB with Onions in your last e-mail. I think Windows Live must not be compatible with your e-mails. I’d love to hear more about companion planting. Do you have a book reccomendation or can you give me more clues. Something is slowly deteriorating my flourishing cantalope patch. Some of the vines are withering and the leaves schriveling and turning brown. Is there a companion plant that should be planted with mellons to keep out beetles and borers? I like your web site. I am in south east USA.
