Summary
Companion planting strengthens organic gardens by pairing different plants, so they support each other’s growth. GardenersPath explains that mixing species increases diversity, thereby improving resilience and reducing pest pressure. Plants can protect each other in several ways: some attract beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and parasitic wasps, while others repel pests through scent compounds or root chemicals. Certain combinations also work as trap crops, drawing insects away from main vegetables. Companion planting further helps control weeds, reduce soil erosion, and retain moisture by using ground-cover plants. Nitrogen-fixing legumes enrich soil fertility for heavy-feeding crops. Overall, smart plant pairings boost yield, health, and sustainability.
