Want to reduce the use of pesticides in your garden? Here are 6 reasons why you should use a companion plant strategy in your garden.
Natural Pest ControlSome companion plants have natural pest-repellent properties, helping to deter harmful insects and reduce the need for chemical pesticides.
Improved PollinationFlowers of certain companion plants attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, ensuring better pollination for your vegetable crops.
Weed Suppression Companion plants can help smother weeds by providing dense foliage, shading the soil, and preventing weed growth.
Enhanced Nutrient UptakeSome companion plants have deep roots that draw nutrients from lower soil layers, benefiting shallow-rooted vegetables by making those nutrients available in the upper layers.
Soil Improvement Certain companion plants can improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen or accumulating beneficial minerals.
Increased Yields When companion plants work together harmoniously, they can lead to increased yields and healthier, more robust vegetable plants.
