This gardening classic was first published in 1975, and now a second generation of gardeners who prefer pest-resistant planning to chemicals will find a place for it on the shelves. Not only does it tell what to plant with what, but also how to use herbal sprays to control insects, what wild plants to encourage in the garden, how to grow fruit and nut trees, how to start small plots or window-box gardens, and much more. It's one of the most practical books around for any gardener of edibles, no matter how serious or casual.
Product Description
This classic has now taught generations of gardeners how to use the natural benefits of plants to protect and support each other. Here is a reader's complete reference to which plants nourish the soil, which keep away bugs and pests, and which plants just don't get along. Here is a complete guide to using companion planting to grow a better garden. 555,000 copies in print.

I didn't know plants were so particular about other plants around them. I can't wait to start my garden, I feel that it will be very healthy and happy too !

The book has some great information in it, the thing I like most about the book is how it tells you what the different companions benefit are and why to avoid planting some plants together, This is the information that most of my other books don't have. Some of the content is just enough to wet your appetite and leaves you wanting more information. All in all I am happy to have this book in my library. it is an easy read, and has garden plans to look at and implement. The one thing I wish that this book had, had is a "Companion Planting Chart" for quick reference instead of having to read the whole section over again.

This book has been great with helping to plant my garden using natural methods of pesticides. This is done by planting plants that repel insects and diseases next to each other. It is a very good way to keep from using chemical pesticides, and to get optimal yields of vegetables and fruits. I highly recomend it for the orgainic gardener or the beginning gardener. It is an exellant guide for all.
