Companion Planting
Growing different plants together so they help each other grow better or keep pests away.
What is it?
Companion planting is a gardening method where certain plants are placed near each other for mutual benefit. For example, nasturtium is often planted near vegetables because its strong smell repels pests like aphids. Some plants also improve soil or provide shade for others.
Why it matters
Companion planting helps gardeners grow healthier plants without using chemicals. It is a natural way to protect crops and increase harvests.
