This document provides information on companion planting, including:
1) It defines companion planting as growing plants together to assist each other through pest deterrence, improved growth, flavor enhancement, and other benefits. However, some plant combinations should be avoided.
2) While some companion planting combinations seem to work, the evidence is limited and results are mixed as it is better suited for Northern Hemispheres and often misunderstood.
3) Increasing biodiversity through native trees and shrubs brings many beneficial insects and animals with few pests.
The document then provides a extensive chart listing good and bad plant companions and how they might work together or negatively impact each other.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Companion Planting Fact Sheet - Brian Sams
1. Companion Planting – Fact Sheet
Compiled By Brian Sams
Source : http://www.sgaonline.org.au/info_companion_planting.html
This great article is reproduced with permission from SGAonline.
Once the realm of the hardcore, hippy, home gardener, companion planting
is now an incredibly popular practice - from beginner gardeners right up to
large-scale agriculture. But, despite its popularity (it's huge in Europe),
companion planting is often misunderstood, misused and misrepresented as
the "cure-all solution" to problems in the vegetable patch.
So what is companion planting? Essentially, it's a method of growing plants
together, with the idea that they will assist each other in some way, like
deterring pests, improving growth, enhancing flavour, attracting beneficial
insects, fixing nitrogen, disrupting "patterns" and trap cropping. But, just as
we have good neighbours, there are bad neighbours as well. Some plants
really dislike each other, and shouldn't be planted in close quarters, lest one
of them struggle or meet its untimely demise.
Mythbusters - Does it Actually Work?
Now, the "Big Question": does it work? Well, yes and no. There is a fairly
limited amount of actual scientific information on companion planting, but it is
safe to say that some combinations do seem to work, while others can be a
bit hit and miss. Why? Well, for starters, companion planting is a northern
hemisphere concept that works a treat up there, but not as well down here in
Australia.
2. Secondly, it doesn't work so well because it isn't understood. We've all heard
that basil and tomatoes should be planted together, but why? How many of
each is required? Is one basil per tomato enough? Who benefits? What are
we deterring? Does it enhance flavour? For years, I planted one basil plant
next to each of my tomatoes, and guess what? Nothing happened. There
was no discernable difference in taste. Nothing seemed to be encouraged or
deterred. Nothing grew better or worse than it had before, there was simply
no advantage, other than me not having to walk so far to make a pasta
sauce!
Do you know why? Because, for basil to successfully repel flies from
tomatoes, an absolute shovel-load of basil is required in your patch. I'm
talking several basil plants for each tomato, and even then it won't repel fruit
fly. I love basil as much as the next gardener, but I don't love it that much,
and, to be honest, I've never had an issue with flies on my tomatoes. But
who knew this? And how many of us think that this is the quick fix for all our
garden woes?
Get Your Fix - Companions that Work!
Well, companion planting CAN be the quick fix, and here's how: biodiversity!
The best thing about companion planting is that it increases the biodiversity
of your patch; that is, the variety of life forms in your garden. Some of the
greatest companion plants in my garden are those which have nothing to do
with my vegetable patch, but are the awesome locally native trees and
shrubs I have planted about the place. Clever planning (if I do say so myself)
has meant that my garden is never without blossom, and is therefore never
without the array of critters that come with that: birds, pollinating insects (like
butterflies, bees, and native wasps), reptiles, beetles and all sorts of helpful
garden buddies.
By encouraging this assortment of good guys, my garden is almost
completely without the bad guys, who never get a foothold in numbers that
matter to me anyway! Remember, a lettuce leaf with a hole in it doesn't
require chemical warfare, nor does it signal an attack of the dreaded
munchies! So now that I've put you off companion planting all together, let
me say that I reckon there are some combinations that really work, especially
those that involve plants that have a fair odour to them. Also, there are
definitely combinations that dislike each other, so I've made for you, dear
readers, what is possibly the most comprehensive companion planting chart
in the known universe.

a couple of general plants that make great companions for other reasons
• Basil helps repel flies and mosquitoes.
• Borage in the strawberry patch will increase the yield.
• Catnip repels fleas, ants and rodents.
• Caraway helps breakdown heavy soils.
• Chamomile deters flies and mosquitoes and gives strength to any
plant growing nearby.
• Chives grown beneath apple trees will help to prevent apple scab;
beneath roses will keep away aphids and blackspot.
• Elderberry a general insecticide, the leaves encourage compost
fermentation, the flowers and berries make lovely wine!
• Fennel (not F. vulgare or F.officionale) repels flies, fleas and ants.
• French Marigold root secretions kill nematodes in the soil. Will repel
white fly amongst tomatoes.
• Garlic helps keep aphids away from roses.
• Hyssop attracts cabbage white moth keeping brassicas free from
infestation.
• Mint repels cabbage white moth. Dried and placed with clothes will
repel clothes moth.
• Nasturtium secrete a mustard oil, which many insects find attractive
and will seek out, particularly the cabbage white moth. Alternatively,
the flowers repel aphids and the cucumber beetle. The climbing
variety grown up apple trees will repel codling moth.
• Pyrethrum will repel bugs if grown around the vegetable garden.
• Rosemary repels carrot fly.
• Rue (Rutus, not Peganum) keeps cats and dogs off garden beds if
planted round the borders.
• Sage protects cabbages from cabbage white moth.
• Tansy (Tanacetum, not Senecio) repels moths, flies and ants. Plant
beneath peach trees to repel harmful flying insects. Tansy leaves
assist compost fermentation.
• Wormwood (Artemesia, not Ambrosia) although it can inhibit the
growth of plants near it, wormwood does repel moths, flies and fleas
and keeps animals off the garden.
