Do you want to harvest and eat your vegetables without using harmful chemicals to repel harmful pests? Are you interested in a planting method that helps the nature?If the answer is yes, this is the right book for you!In the early days, before there were pesticides and herbicides, companion planting was used by the settlers to repel harmful pests and enhance the crop yields.Plants were often paired up or often tripled up so as to balance out the levels of nutrients that were found in the soil. The nutrient that one plant needed was often a surplus or sometimes waste product of another and thus, a grouping could live in harmony. This also reduced the need for harmful pesticides and also fertilizer since these plants could actually make their own.So what does companion planting entail anyway? This is actually a method of gardening where specific species of plants are put in close proximity in order to keep away pests and to increase the growth of each type as well.This doesnt mean however, that you can just put any two vegetable plants together. Some species just wont do as well with this method unless properly paired up with the right partner.It is important to study these plants in order to figure out which ones need more water and take up a lot of nutrients from the soil. If you should happen to grow a pair of plants in the same area that will suck up a lot of the moisture, they will actually be harmed by this practice instead of being helped.This book covers:Whats Companion Planting?Benefit Of Companion PlantingCompanion Planting StrategiesTypes of Insects: Good And Bad InsectsGarden PlanningCompanion Planting ChartPerfect CombinationsHow to Get StartedCompanion VegetablesBeginner Mistakes to Avoid...And much moreIts a good idea to calculate two species that will benefit each other in order to make each one thrive.
