Comments Alliums include onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives, and others

Marigolds will deter beetles. Brassicas are a family of species which include broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, and cauliflower. Hosts nitrogen-fixing bacteria, a good fertilizer forsomeplants, too much for others Good for adding minerals to the soil through composting leaves which have up to 25% magnesium. Runner or pole beans and beets stunt each other's growth. Rosemary repels cabbage fly, geraniums trap cabbage worms, same general companion profile as all brassica (cabbage, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc) Rosemary repels cabbage flies, geraniums trap cabbage worms, same general companion profile as all brassica (cabbage, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc) Tomatoes grow better with carrots, but may stunt the carrots' growth. Beans (which are bad for tomatoes) provide the nitrogen carrots need more than some other vegetables. Aromatic companion plants repelcarrot fly. Sage, rosemary, and radishes are recommended bysomeas companion plants, but listed by others as incompatible. Alliums inter-planted with carrots confuse onion and carrot flies. For the beneficial insect-attracting properties of carrots to work, they need to be allowed to flower; Otherwise, use the wild carrot, Queen Anne's Lace, for the same effect. Flax produces an oil that may protect root vegetables like carrots from some pests.

Provides beans with a trellis, is protected from predators and dryness by cucurbits, in thethree sisterstechnique

Marigolds will deter nematodes.

Same companion traits as all alliums (onions, garlic, shallots, chives, etc) Mints (including hyssop, sage, and various "balms") repel slugs, a bane of lettuce and cabbages Same general companion profile as all brassica (cabbage, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc) Nightshade plants include tomatoes, tobacco, chili peppers (including bell peppers), potatoes, eggplant, and others Same companion traits as all other alliums (chives, garlic, shallots, leeks, etc) Pepper plants like high humidity, which can be helped along by planting with some kind of dense-leaf or ground-cover companion, like marjoram and basil; they also need direct sunlight, but their fruit can be harmed by it...pepper plants grown together, or with tomatoes, can shelter the fruit from sunlight, and raises the humidity level. Horseradish increases the disease resistance of potatoes The flowers of the parsnip plant left to seed will attract a variety of predatory insects to the garden, they are particularly helpful when left under fruit trees, the predators attacking codling moth and light brown apple moth. The root also contains Myristricin, which is toxic to fuit flies, house flies, red spider mite, pea aphids, an simple blender made extraction of three blended parsnips roots to one litre of water through a food processor (not one for preparing food) and left overnight, strained and use within a few days. Flea Beetles are warded off by radishes, Curcurbita can be used in the three sisterstechnique The peas and beans provide natural shade for the spinach Black walnutsinhibit tomato growth, in fact they areallelopathicto all other nightshadeplants (chili pepper, potato, tobacco, petunia) as well, because it produces a chemical calledjuglone. Dill attracts tomato horn worm.

Comments is said to make tomatoes taste better, chamomile and anise are supposed to increase the essential oils in many herbs like basil Predict a square meter for its adult size. Borage is the magic bullet of companion plants[citation needed]

loves shade, fortunately it grows well with shade-tolerant food plants; will make radishes grown near it taste spicier

Same companion traits as all alliums (onions, garlic, shallots, leeks, etc)said to prevent apple scab after 3 years planting at base of apple trees

one of the few plants said to grow with fennel Fennel isallelopathicto most garden plants, inhibiting growth, causing to bolt, or actually killing many plants Deters rabbits, same companion traits as all alliums (onions, chives, shallots, leeks, etc) Repels many types of beetles which attack cabbages. Stimulates growth of grapes. Is thought to improve the health of almost all plants, like borage and geraniums, is considered a "magic bullet" of companion planting provides ground cover and much-needed humidity for pepper plants if allowed to spread among them Repels cabbage flies, has same general companion properties as other mints Deters cabbage flies, repels many bean parasites

Deters cabbage flies, repels many bean parasites Controls cabbage moths and malaria mosquitoes. Controls ants and aphids, has same general companion properties as other mints. also delays germination of certain foul herbs

Is reputed to generally repel insects (except for nectar-eating types). This herb should not be consumed, as it is quite toxic. Its scent is disliked by most pests, and this plant is also thought to have Nurse Plant properties, enhancing the growth and flavor of crops grown with it. Deters white fly
