Companion Planting: is planting crops together that help each other grow and have a symbiotic relationship.
For example, Marigolds tend to keep pests away from tomatoes. For some crops it has to do with pests, some shade, some, nutrients.
To see how I've dong companion planting in my beds, check out my garden bed planning chart.

Companion planting (especially with undersowing of green manures) is a subject I have a LOT to learn about. BUT! here's what I have so far:
nasturtiums love broccoli, squash and cucumber
tomatoes love marigolds and basil
carrots loves chives
tomatoes keep pests away from cabbage
dill likes cabbage to support it
marigolds control pests that may attack tomatoes and melons
…still a lot of research to do on this one, I really appreciate your comments of knowledge!!!
I think I'll read a book that was recommended to me a long time ago called, carrots love tomatoes.
