Companion planting is based on the idea that when planted in groupings, plants can assist in the over- all well being of the garden. For example; some plants add nitrogen into the soil that is needed for the healthy growth of other plants. Beneficial insects are attracted to certain types of plants, and some plants repel insects. Other plants can provide protection from the sun and wind for more delicate plants. Some weeds have a beneficial quality also. The benefits of companion planting include a natural method of pest control, a higher produce yield, and a garden that is visually more appealing.
