Companion Planting

Companion planting is a technique of planting crops that, when planted in in close proximity, benefit each other. “Friends,”
may enhance flavour, help with pest control and increase pollination. Other plant combinations can be “enemies” and can
compete for resources, inhibit growth and increase unwanted pests. For best practice, keep this gardenstead guide on
hand when designing and planting the layout of your garden.
