COMPANION PLANTING ESSENTIALS FOR BEGINNERS: EASY STEPS TO BOOST SOIL FERTILITY AND ATTRACT BENEFICIAL INSECTS FOR AN ORGANIC GARDEN THAT THRIVES, EVEN WITHOUT A GREEN THUMB by Davis Eklund

What a really great resource book. It has everything you would ever want to know about how to plant a garden. Love that they go over the tools, dirt, containers and everything else you would need.

Love conversations about composting, layering and especially the three sisters. Love planting like the Pilgrims were taught from the Indians.

Love the charts where they tell you want to plant near another so both will thrive.

There is also a chart about insects that can harm the crop but they tell you how to naturally combat them. We have used ladybugs for aphids and praying mantis now when we plant squash we wait til June 21 then there will be no bugs, in our zone.

Have planted the main raised garden and have a few containers still free so I will do some companion gardening in them.

SUPER KEEPER!
