Companion Planting Explained: How companion planting works in permaculture and sustainable gardens

Companion planting is a buzz phrase, but it’s about more than just planting several plants together and calling it good. In permaculture, we’re looking to create relationships between plants and their neighbors, and the soil. If every plant is giving and taking different additives to the soil, plus helping neighboring plants by attracting pollinators, repelling pests, suppressing weeds, etc., a true ecosystem can begin to form right in your garden-just like in nature.
