 Companion planting is an interesting
concept whereby you plant specific plants in close proximity to each other to
reach a desired goal - such as better yields, bigger flowers, or even repelling
insects. People are discovering more combinations all the time, and observation
is the key. The mechanics of why certain plants are
compatible and others are not isn't well understood. Also, what works in
one garden may not work as well in another. Therefore, watch what
happens in your
own garden and write it down.
In my own garden this year, I planted Dill and
Lavender side-by-side. The
Dill flourished, but the
Lavender looked sick for a while and then died.
This is not scientific proof that Dill and Lavender are not compatible, but I
definitely won't be planting them side-by-side in my garden again.
I have researched plant compatibilities, and have compiled some fairly extensive
charts, which can be accessed through the links at the top left Hopefully, they
can be used as a road map of sorts to help with your particular gardening goals.
