Top 5 Companion Plants to Maximize Yields, Enhance Flavor and Deter Pests

[@A_WorkInProgr3ss]

I love how you got right to the chase. Some just go on and on for 5 minutes before getting to the point. Thank you for the information

[@charlescoker7752]

Something they do a long intro before they start with the reason for the video. They forget you can skip pasted it. So a waste of time editing it into every video.

[@rentosh6739]

Agree

[@claire3598]

I agree

[@lzrd8460]

April Carr So we’ll said, thank you .

[@jjr6929]

Agreed, love you get right to it! Added bonus, you write it up below, so we can listen first, then write it down after. Great technique.

[@hafizfikri8623]

In malaysia we use neem leaves to repel pest including ants, aphids, grasshoppers, etc.. It is very powerful because of the bitterness.. It wont kill these pest, dont worry... It just make them flee from your plants but dont get carried away to shower the flower with the neems because bees wont pollinate the pollen in your flower.. I hope my info can help those gardeners who wish to plant their crops free of chemical substances.. Peace yo

[@AuntieGabby]

the radish /squash companion tip is gold, thank you

[@agdayem]

Radish (and arugula) also acts as a trap crop for nematodes

[@marshall4759]

Plant lettuce seeds with squash plant. When the hot summer comes shade, and moisture of squash leaves allows lettuce to make it through heat.

Thanks for sharing. I know that you haven't posted in a few years but I highly encourage you to get back to it because you obviously have a lot of knowledge and experience to offer.

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Thank you for sharing your garden and knowledge with us. I’m a KZbin gardener too. It’s my 3rd year and ever year I try to get better. This year I’m trying intercropping/companion planting. I found your channel in my research. This is very helpful and I and so happy I found your channel because it has so much to offer. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels! Happy Planting!

Planting garlic with my calendula made such a difference! I had less problems with pests and they grew so big so fast! Thank you for this video.

[@MindyourMatters]

Oh calendula! Nice I’ll need to try that ❤

[@LOVEnLIGHTWORKer]

Lol I’m looking these videos up because of my cat who keeps digging up my garlic SHE LOVES GARLIC and won’t let them stay in the ground She immediately unburied them and licks them and leaves them exposed and she does it to each of them I plant 😂 none of my other cats ever did this I’m hoping I can get something to keep my cat off the garlic 😂

[@The.Ghost.of.Tom.Joad.]

Nice. I grow every single companion crop you have listed... and use them the same way. Though I seed my future home for tomatoes with radishes every year for the early harvest. And then, after the last frost (about mid-May here) I plant basil at the base of every single tomato vine. Makes for tastier tomatoes. IMHO. Plus, you get the added advantage of double-cropping.

[@OldPecanHomestead]

Thank you SO much. This is the first time we are doing a large garden and I have been looking for these tips! We were told about the radishes being planted with squash and you are correct, we had zero squash bugs also, so I have been wondering what other plants work together. Thank you!

[@hamsterama]

Not only do marigolds repel pests, but they do the double duty of attracting good insects, like bumblebees and butterflies. You can't get much better than that!

[@capitalg6921]

how are butterflies good?

[@jessefreeman2611]

Butterflies pollinate stuff

[@recoveringsoul755]

Don't marigolds also have some medicinal properties? To make tea or something?

[@hamsterama]

@@recoveringsoul755 I just googled this. From what I read, there is a plant called calendula officinalis, which is also called "pot marigold." However, it's not a true marigold. The type that people tend to grow in their flowerbeds is tangetes patula, also called the French marigold. The French marigold actually a native of Mexico. Pot marigolds are native to Europe, and apparently they do indeed have some medicinal properties, and you can also make tea out of it. Interesting!

[@lucygreen875]

@@hamsterama You are correct about pot marigold, except the "tea" tastes disgusting and you would not drink it for pleasure - but it is an excellent gargle for a sore throat (my family grew this for as long as I can remember, for this very purpose). But be careful, unlike french marigold, pot marigold attracts aphids and other bad bugs.

[@fudgedogbannana]

Thanks old girl. years ago in the 70's I had a book called "Carrots Love Tomatoes" it had a lot of good info.

[@prestonfunkhouser1301]

This was a great video. Thank you for sharing. I’m going put in a few radish seeds with my squash starts and see how that helps with the squash bugs. Thank you for the tip. I’ve been putting in a basil seed with every tomato plant for the last few years and I really like the results. The basil has done really well. Under the shade of the tomato.

[@Jobella]

Thank you for the info! I'm a beginner and I would love to do more on companion planting on my garden than chemical sprays.

[@helliebellielove373]

I had seeded everything indoors/under cover throughout Jan and February as per, and have been transplanting out as early as March, even my sweetcorn & my tomatoes are out with peas, rasish, kale, spinach, butternut squash, etc.. everything is out & just awaiting some of my successionals to germinate before safely moving them out too. The best of it is, flowers by the hundreds are popping up.. nasturtium, marigolds, calendula, red poppy and california poppy, zinnia cactus mix, campanula, cosmos, nemophila (baby blue eyes), china aster, alongside plenty of wild bee mixes for our pollinator etc.. all herbs are thriving in with brassicas & alliums too! I am quite glad I started early this year, such a lot to do 😁 Good luck with everything, and wishing you every success 🙂✌

For those of us in the Pacific Northwest. Yes, marigolds have some benefits. But they also attract slugs who eat them like salad! Once they eat those, they then head for your vegetables. Pulled two unused pots apart today and a three inch slug was having a nap waiting for dark. He did not make it.
