The Complete Guide to Companion Planting

[@debbienash4170]

I’m in Georgia, USA. Always have zinnias, marigolds and nasturtiums in the vegetable garden. They bloom all summer and make working in the garden very relaxing. I love watching and hearing the bees, hummingbirds and butterflies while I’m in the garden.

[@GrowVeg]

Sounds lovely! :-)

[@mulberryfarmsnb]

I let onions go to seed last year and was shocked at how many bees the flowers brought into the garden. They also seemed to love my sunflowers as well as cosmos, calendula, marigolds and zinnias. I had a ton of beneficials this year.

[@GrowVeg]

It's amazing how common vegetables like onions and carrots produce such beautiful flowers that insects absolutely love.

[@happydays1336]

@@GrowVeg I tried something new today when I planted my seeds in one of my grow boxes. I sprinkled flower seeds, lettuce seeds and Chinese vegetable seeds (bok choy, Mizuna, etc.) on top of the box and raked the seeds in. No spacing or rows. It'll be fun to see what it looks like when everything sprouts.

[@dn744]

Save seeds, onions like most plants memorize the soil conditions. Each year gets better results and better resistance to pests

[@goosecouple]

Flowers also attract yellow jackets.

[@cherriemckinstry131]

@@happydays1336 i like that idea. I did a vid. Of my okra box.. thanks for the tip.. im going to toss in flowers or dill maybe..

[@carolmuncer8447]

Our community garden planted marigolds among the kale/ broccoli plants, we also planted parsley and basil at the end of each 25 foot row where we planted carrots, onions, beets and so on. Apart from grasshopper eating holes in some of the leaves, we had no cabbage moth larvae giving us trouble. Our only troublesome pest was a groundhog who had a taste for beets and sweet potatoes! We also scattered calendula and borage through out the garden, the borage is always full of pollinators.

[@mysterymccarthy6851]

Catmint (also called Catnip and Nepeta) is my top plant pick for volume of bees and butterflies in my garden, Borage would be a close second. I have both, but I find that the Borage gets thick stems that start to lean over and crack and the lower leaves die and dry up while still on the plant making it look really terrible by mid summer. I end up having to remove most of it because it is so unsightly, there will be Borage volunteers ready to take the place. My Catmint on the other hand, wow! Gorgeous! Covered in blooms from summer with no signs of slowing until frost and looks lovely absolutely covered in little mauve flowers! The hum from all of the bees when I walk by is astounding!

do I have to plant in my veggie garden or can I just plant near by...like a boarder

[@piasepi]

This year, I planted marigolds and calendula in my garden and they have done well. Borage self-seeds and I leave it where I can because the bees love it. Three self-seeded cosmos grew in late summer and looked lovely as well as attracted lots of bees. I also have nasturtiums growing around our fruit trees but they can get out of control. I also grow comfrey for home made mulches and fertilizers around the edge of my veg garden but like to leave a few to flower for the bees. I am planning a flower border for next year with spring bulbs and summer flowers so thank you for your suggestions. I will definitely add heleniums and single dahlias into the border. I have tried sowing poppy seeds without success but the native poppies return year after year. Thanks for your great videos.

[@GrowVeg]

Sounds like you already have a good mix of flowers. Clumps of comfrey are fantastic for home-grown nutrients - mulches, liquid fertilisers, compost ingredients. Keep up the good work!

I'm thinking like you. Just built two raised beds, all my veggies this year I had grown in pots. (I only moved in last year- the house & garden needed alot of work) My neighbours are lovely to, - thankfully - and at least two are growing fruit and veg to. I think at least two more will, as well. One of my coworkers said about companion planting! I'm so glad I chatted about my little garden. My garden isn't big, only 30ft by 12.5 ft, I'll do my best. I'm so grateful, and thankful to all the gardeners out there who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise, and even some pitfalls on youtube, for the novices like me to learn from. I've made one mistake, I had planted some winter potatoes where I had grown Sunflowers, absolutely a no show, then I saw the companion chart! I learn something new every day. A mistake I'll NOT repeat. I'm also learning rapidly about organic gardening and about seed saving, a friend works in a garden centre, and another is a self employed gardener both have spoke independently of seed shortages for next year.

[@melovescoffee]

I like those little sachets of bee flower mix! I'm finally so far done with tackling the debris in my garden from the previous renter and making garden beds, that i can now think about beautifying the place, making insect habitat, and covercropping on a larger scale. If you're on a budget like me, there is always room for a few sachets of flower mix for bees, birds and butterflies. They roughly contain 5 square meters of flower meadow each. There are so many species in those. here will always be a few coming up that are just right for the soil or light conditions you spread them on. Leaving in some brassicas that have gone to seed is also a real bee pleaser! Phacelia tanacetifolia is both very good for bees and very good for the soil. You will definitely find that one mixed into blue bee mixes. Buckwheat is another favorite of mine. Leaving in native 'weeds' you like is also an option. If i like it, it stays. Whats not to like about a pretty blue vetch climbing into a shrub or a sprinkle of wartwort.

[@GrowVeg]

Definitely agree about those bee flower mixes - they're so cost effective and put on such a beautiful, natural-looking display.

Im trying to create a Food Field this summer. Theres a random empty feild next to my house that no one really cares about, its just full of weeds and trash. My friends and i have started picking up the trash, and started sprinkling both flower and food seeds everywhere. I want to increase the biodiversity as much as possible as well as produce edible plants that i (and other people) could use at anytime. So im ok with the weeds and grass. Im going to make sure some of my foodcrops stay and go to seed as well like radishes and onions because pollinators love them. Im hopeful it will work!

Achilleas and Hemp Agrimony do a wonderful job of pulling in bees, butterflies and predators. With the Agrimony, due to its height, I have to plant it to one side of growing areas; but the shorter Achilleas make fine work in between plants. I also like to plant lots of different herbs throughout the garden.

[@GrowVeg]

Calendulas have a habit of self-seeding and therefore spreading. However, they are incredibly easy to control by just pulling or hoeing out those seedlings that aren't desired. I'd say they wouldn't be able to out-compete watermelons, which are far chunkier and more vigorous once they get going.
