Companion crops in the vegetable garden: Visual guide to good associations

The "combined cropping" method consists of growing plants together that have positive influences on each other, whether because their basic needs are the same (soil type, nutrient content, root systems, etc.) or because the chemical compounds they emit repel certain pests or diseases. This natural growing method, which originated in Germany, has proven itself over many years. All the associations presented in this book are illustrated at key moments in their cultivation, making it easy to visualize the essential spacing, successions, and intervention periods. They primarily concern vegetables, but also fruit trees, small fruits, aromatic plants, and ornamental flowers.
