Companion Planting Made Easy

When it comes to companion planting there’s a lot of conflicting advice out there. Knowing what you can trust is tricky, to say the least!

Companion planting can be used to boost your harvests in many different ways - by attracting pest predators, suppressing weeds, and by making certain nutrients available to other plants, to name but a few.

In this short video we demonstrate a fantastic new way to plan companion planting, using scientifically proven combinations which are sure to boost your success.

If you love growing your own food, why not take a look at our online Garden Planner which is available from several major websites and seed suppliers:

I am a huge fan of companion planting and have done it for years.
Every year my most impressive, lush and high yielding area of my garden is my tansy-nasturtium bed. It is like a jungle of beauty and edible goodness <3

I want you to know how much I appreciate your channel. I live in USA and have asked several “ big name garden channels” in the US for information on companion planting, but I still have not gotten a response. So thank you. I found your channel by chance and decided to watch to see how good it is. I have not been disappointed! I have subscribed and am really enjoying it. 👍🏻

I just wanted to let you know how much I love using your Garden Planner! I live in Central Florida, and we are fortunate to have a year-round growing season. That's wonderful on one hand, but on the other, it creates problems regarding where to plant! For instance, I can plant tomatoes in February, and replant them in late August/September. I have a 40' x 30' suburban garden, so can run out of space quickly. My garden planner has kept me on track since 2012, and makes crop rotation a snap! Thank you!

Andrew, your videos and tips are the best! Not only detailed and thoughtful, everything is easy to understand and utilize. Thank you, so much for working so hard to offer this to everyone.

I'm an ecologist that moved from the UK to Germany last year. I don't have a garden but I have a medium sized balcony. Converting my knowledge and your tips into balcony gardening restricted to pot plants is both challenging and hopefully rewarding.

Great video! Thanks. I've been planting marigolds with my cucumbers for a few years without fail and have had beautiful cucumber plants ever since.

I’ve grown pole beans with tomatoes (yes right intermingled) and got heavy crops from both. Intensive planting win!

You've touched on the biggest problem with gardening; so much of it is unsubstantiated gossip, and there's so little research and what little there is is poor quality and forgotten anyway. So thank you for being thorough about this! I like my garden to "buzz" with wildlife regardless of any benefit so I might give this a try if it can help me plant flowers that can also help my harvests!

Thank you once again! We (our community garden) continue to learn about companion planting to increase our yield.

I've noticed all flowing herbs seem to be great at attracting bees, so I put them near my strawberries.

My parents used the three sisters method growing up Oregon thanks to a native American neighbor. This is my first year trying companion plant the whole garden. I'll let you know my findings

[corneliusbythesea]

Wow! Thanks SO much for the info. I love your videos. I have done marigolds in the past, and it was wonderful. I remember reading about it and figured it wouldn't hurt. I have sandy soil now by the beach, but will be moving to the country soon. I can't wait to use this planner when I get some land. Thanks again!!

i try to include tobacco plants with our tomato plants. Tomato Horn worms are rare, but they prefer the tobacco.
