I lean towards organic gardening and this has led to my interest in companion planting. Companion planting involves growing two or more plants in the same area to achieve a specific effect.

A particular plant may add needed nutrients to the soil (i.e. legumes are known to add nitrogen). Or perhaps, they may distract pests and/or lure beneficial insects. Others may protect delicate plants from the sun and wind. The benefits are many.

I have made a table that demonstrates companion plants. It is based on the particular needs of my garden but it will show you a few of the plants that are companions and also mentions a few that are antagonistic. If you would like to view the chart..just click on the link below.
