Companion Planting Secrets
By Charlotte Nolan
Want to grow healthier crops, cut pests, and boost your farm's yields without breaking the bank? Companion Planting Secrets: Guide to Plant Harmony is your practical guide to making plants work together, whether you're farming a small organic plot or a large commercial field. Farmer and author Charlotte Nolan shares time-tested strategies to pair crops like tomatoes with basil, corn with beans and squash (the Three Sisters), carrots with onions, and more, helping you save on pesticides, enrich soil, and grow more in less space.
Inside, you'll find seven proven plant pairs to fight pests like aphids and nematodes, plus tips to avoid mistakes-like keeping beans away from onions. Learn how to plan layouts for small beds or big fields, weave companion planting into crop rotations, and build tough polycultures that handle drought or pests. The planting calendar in the back makes timing easy, with clear dates for northern, central, and southern climates. Packed with real farmer stories-like the Michigan grower who doubled her lettuce yields with chives-and backed by research, this book shows you how to make every season count.
From pest control to soil health, Companion Planting Secrets gives you the tools to grow smarter. Start small with one pair, track your results, and watch your fields thrive. Grab your copy, check the planting calendar, and plant your way to harmony today!
