Companion Planting, Should We Plant Our Crops This Way? Which ones? What plants go together? What plants do we avoid? So many questions. Honestly though, other than a few hard rules and plants to avoid combining together, Companion Planting is not hard at all. You just need to get started.
And in today’s video we do just that. We’ll look at all the benefits that Companion Planting has to offer, what to look out for, and of course, what plant combinations work best. Inter species planting is a bit of a step up, so you should probably already being growing a few crops successfully already. Or maybe not! Maybe Companion Planting is exactly what you need to get over the hump of pest control, microclimate management, or soil protection?
You won’t know until you try! 🙂
2022 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

Great video
Is the list you put together for companion plants available to view ?
Thank you this is very helpful for a new gardener. ☺️
Big thanks! Love your videos! Huge thanks for the list of companion plants, love it!
I was curious what I could grow with squash. I was thinking radishes, but I am in a dry climate, so maybe dill instead?
Thank you so much!
Great video tips! Very reassuring to see the chart. I often wonder though when they say to avoid something, whether they mean in the same bed area or even if they mean in a pot or container, next to said plant in the bed?
I saw a video from Jacques in the Garden where they had planted asparagus, mulched it with straw and then put a layer of mushroom spawn and then added another layer of straw. Apparently, not only does it protect the asparagus from weeds but the mycelium is a good feed for when it turns into compost after, plus you are growing the mushrooms around the crowns.
I just bought some mushroom spawn and i am going to order some straw. I was going to grow it indoors but this looks like a good idea to dual use the space.
Great video Jeff. Do you practice trap planting?
I have tomatoes and cukes planted together! Thinking of adding marigolds
I love your videos and the info you give but maybe you could clarify what you said about squash and corn. I’ve always heard that the three sisters method of growing squash corn and peas together was always a winner. First peoples did it here for centuries and I’m even trying it in my garden this year. So I’m a little confused.
Great as always Jeff!
Thanks for the video and great info Jeff. I have never intentionally companion planted but am definitely going to try this year.
A great video! I don't companion plant as a rule, but I have tried some last season. I don't know if it is different in different regions here in the U.S. But, I do know that Nasturtiums didn't save our winter and summer squash from squash bugs or vine bores. At least not here in zone 4a. But, Garlic seemed to keep the Beetles off my wife's roses when I planted them next to the bushes. I don't consider myself science minded, just old school. I do experiment from time to time. I own and have read some pretty convincing garden books. I have a nice library of about a dozen or so. We have been gardening since 1974 and it is hard to change old habits lol! But we do try to learn new things to add to the old tool bag. Because you never know! Enjoyed, take care!
I interplanted some basil and onion with my maters and peppers and so far a lot less horn worms and aphids, also the basil is growing something insane! I've never had such big basil leaves!
Brilliant!
