In the vegetable garden, it is essential to learn how to associate the different vegetables with each other. The neighborhood of a plant can even determine its life. Choosing the right plants in the neighborhood can help keep diseases and other damage away. It is also a natural way to avoid chemical pesticides and control pests and weeds.

 

It is one of the techniques of permaculture. It is imperative to know that some plants are unfavorable to others. On the contrary, some favour the growth of their neighbors! Don’t forget to apply crop rotation in addition to this.

 

You don’t plant the same vegetable twice in the same place. From one year to the next, not only should you change location, but also remember that some vegetables do not plant on the soil of another vegetable that has already grown on it.

11 useful plants and herbs to plant in your garden

The combination of vegetables, herbs and flowers is useful for the vegetable garden. Some are honey-bearing (attract pollinating insects thanks to good nectar and pollen production), others repel “harmful” insects. Here are some plants to use to protect your garden

 

  • Marigolds are recommended next to tomato plants because they repel nematodes and whiteflies from the roots.
  • Solanum nigrum (black nightshade) is used as a companion plant because it attracts Colorado potato beetles, which prefer them to potatoes. Moreover, it proves to be toxic for their larvae.
  • Nasturtiums attract aphids, thus protecting the plants around them. Nasturtiums also attract ladybugs.
  • Sage keeps the white butterfly away from cabbages. You can plant some at the edge of the vegetable garden.
  • Borage attracts bees. It scares off slugs, reduces beetles, keeps worms away from tomatoes. It is appreciated by potatoes, zucchini, cabbage, strawberries, tomatoes.
  • Marigold also attracts pollinating insects and scares off aphids. Near cucumbers, marigold will also scare away whiteflies.
  • Chervil: the smell scares off slugs. You can plant some everywhere in your garden.
  • Basil protects tomatoes against mildew.
  • Thyme: in very compact rows, thyme helps to protect against slugs. The scent also keeps the carrot fly and whiteflies away. The roots spread substances that repel nematodes, which are particularly harmful to tomatoes.
  • Phacelia attracts pollinating insects and smothers weeds.
  • Forget-me-nots repel raspberry worms.

 

Summary

When two vegetables do not like each other, they grow poorly and can even cause certain problems. This is why it is essential to know how to associate vegetables with each other in the vegetable garden and what associations to avoid.

 

Some plants have the property of attracting pests to them. For example, Solanum nigrum (or black nightshade) attracts Colorado potato beetles and is toxic to their larvae (to the great benefit of potatoes!).

 

And conversely, aromatic plants can protect your ornamental crops, such as chives which, planted next to roses, would prevent attacks from oidium and black spots.

Carnations and castor beans attract soil insects, including the annoying nematodes… So do not hesitate to plant a few flowering plants in the middle of the vegetable garden: it is aesthetic, and it will protect your future harvests!
