Companion Planting: The Complete Guide to Companion Gardening. How to Grow and Pair Vegetables, Herbs and Flowers to Make Your Garden Succ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798646181092)

Companion gardening has been used by developed and developing nations throughout history up until now to enhance agricultural productivity in planted gardens. One thing to note here is that in ancient times, it was very difficult to have chemical-based pesticides and so, the main pest control measure always remained companion gardening.

• Pest control
• Pollination
• Provide habitat for useful organisms
• Maximizations of space
• Add to the crop yelds

As indicated above, companion gardening is surely a great way to grow more crops and yield much harvest and utilize land to the maximum. However as there are friends crops that do well around each other, so are there enemy crops that repel each other. The farmer must be informed well when he attempts to plant many varied crops in the same garden as this will inevitably lead to a miss or a hit as far as impact on his produce is concerned. As to the question of whether it works, I would say that 2000 years is such a long time for mankind to make the same mistake. If it has worked since the days of ancient civilizations, then it should work now.
