Companion Planting
Companion planting, or companion gardening is the practice
of planting two different plants in close proximity to each other on the
theory that they help each other in some way. Some plants complement each
other, giving off as by products what the other plant needs. Those
by products are chemicals and micro-nutrients. Other beneficial
plants provide some protection against insects and planting a few of them
near a desired plant will keep the insects away.
