Companion Planting

The ultimate home gardener’s guide to work with nature to grow healthy plants.

–

Companion Planting by Brenda Little helps you work with nature to get the best from your garden, producing cabbages that ‘squeak with health’ and beans that ‘snap like a gunshot’. Every tip in this pocket-sized book has worked for somebody – why it worked may be a mystery, but the result of a healthy crop is the greatest reward for a gardener and this book shows how it can be achieved.

Entertaining and often anecdotal, Brenda Little’s notes are inspired by a wealth of experience and commonsense. Companion Planting offers the reader a gardening system relying completely on observation of the natural ecosystem and a respect for the plants and animals living there, (e.g. how parsley grows well with chives but away from mint and where a light spray of seaweed solution is useful in combating certain pests).
