                                  Companion Planting
         When planning a vegetable garden for the coming season, you can greatly increase the
success and well-being of your garden if you consider companion planting. Plants can form
beneficial relationships with each other, and when planted correctly can help with pest
management, yield, and even bring out the taste of each plant. For instance, certain roots have
pest-resistant capabilities with chemicals that either repel or poison harmful insects. Marigold roots
expel harmful soil nematodes, and tomatoes exude a chemical in the soil that repels certain
cabbage pests.
        On the other end, some plants simply don’t get along when planted next to one another in
a gardening space. It’s equally as important to understand these relationships to avoid these
situations. Understanding and utilizing these relationships will result in a garden that mimics
nature and has a balanced ecosystem.
        There are a variety of possibilities when using companion planting. Many plants including
vegetables, flowers, and herbs can be used as companion plants. Don’t be afraid to experiment and
use plants in creative ways. Some gardeners have used flowers as borders or interplanted them with
vegetables throughout the garden. Successful companion planting can attract the beneficial insects
and keep away harmful pests.
       On the following page, you’ll find a chart listing vegetables and their respective good and
bad companions. Below are some great resources to check out if you’d like to learn more.
Carrots Love Tomatoes by Louise Riotte.
This is a classic book on the art of companion planting. Complete with illustrations and detailed
descriptions of hundreds of plants and their friends and enemies. Highly recommended to
optimize yield and have a happy garden.

Idaho Community Gardens Idaho Foodbank 3562 S TK Ave Boise, ID 83705-0601 www.idahofoodbank.org/community_gardens 336-0643 x 246 bparham@idahofoodbank.org Companion Planting When planning a vegetable garden for the coming season, you can greatly increase the success and well-being of your garden if you consider companion planting. Plants can form beneficial relationships with each other, and when planted correctly can help with pest management, yield, and even bring out the taste of each plant. For instance, certain roots have pest-resistant capabilities with chemicals that either repel or poison harmful insects. Marigold roots expel harmful soil nematodes, and tomatoes exude a chemical in the soil that repels certain cabbage pests. On the other end, some plants simply don’t get along when planted next to one another in a gardening space. It’s equally as important to understand these relationships to avoid these situations. Understanding and utilizing these relationships will result in a garden that mimics nature and has a balanced ecosystem. There are a variety of possibilities when using companion planting. Many plants including vegetables, flowers, and herbs can be used as companion plants. Don’t be afraid to experiment and use plants in creative ways. Some gardeners have used flowers as borders or interplanted them with vegetables throughout the garden. Successful companion planting can attract the beneficial insects and keep away harmful pests. On the following page, you’ll find a chart listing vegetables and their respective good and bad companions. Below are some great resources to check out if you’d like to learn more.
