Pole Beans & Carrots<\/span><\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span><\/strong>All beans fix nitrogen in the soil. \u200bAvoid planting near chives, garlic, leeks, and onions. Pole beans and beets stunt each other\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

Plant pole beans with Brassicas, carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries.<\/p>\n

Beets & Garlic<\/span><\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span><\/strong>Beet greens and scraps are very good for the compost, returning captured manganese and iron to the soil via the composting process.<\/p>\n

Plant beets with bush beans, Brassicas, corn, garlic, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, and mint. Add cut mint leaves as a mulch for beets.<\/p>\n

The Benefits.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
MINIMIZED RISK:<\/em>\u00a0Increase odds of higher yields by limiting the spread and avoiding a monoculture instead of focusing on polyculture or mimicking the best natural growth patterns and diversity.<\/li>\n
<\/li>\n
CROP PROTECTION<\/em>:\u00a0Companion Planting can offer a more delicate plant shelter from weather such as wind or sun by growing beside another plant which can shield and protect\u00a0itself while\u00a0having a natural defense against the harsher conditions.<\/li>\n
TRAP<\/em> CROPPING: Companion planting is also the ultimate organic pest management. You may keep away unwanted pests that may be attracted to one crop but\u00a0repelled\u00a0by the other. This is referred\u00a0to as trap cropping and will assist in protecting the otherwise attractive prey.<\/li>\n

POSITIVE HOSTING<\/em>:\u00a0By planting in proximity to plants which produce a surplus of nectar and pollen, you can increase the population of beneficial insects that will manage your harmful pest population.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Companion Planting with Umbellifers.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Cilantro and dill are both good examples of umbelliferous plants. When these plants bloom, the flower structure is in a shape called an umbel \u2014 scores of tiny flowers arranged on a more or less flat or umbrella-shaped plane.<\/p>\n
Other umbelliform plants include carrot, Ammi, parsley, parsnip, celery, and fennel. Using these plants for this purpose is known as companion planting with umbellifers.\u00a0Learn more\u00a0here.
