Plant Companions for Profit
Planting two or more vegetables in close proximity to each other is an easy way to get the most out of your crops. Plants that complement each other, such as carrots and lettuce or beets and onions, can provide cultural benefits to your garden. For example, companion planting can provide protection for sensitive plants, attract pests away from vulnerable crops and add crop security for the grower.
Viewer Tip: Some vegetables and their companions should be planted in the fall for early harvest the following year. Your regional climate and the variety of crops you want to grow will determine what plants are best together and when to plant them. There are charts detailing which plants work the best together.
