It's that time of year again where I am starting to prepare for my garden.
I have heard about companion planting and how it benefits your plants, so i thought i might like to try it this year.

Does anyone have any personal experience or advice for me in companion planting?
What is a good way to start with for me?

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am not much of a gardener, could you explain what companion planting is please.

Companion planting is growing plants together that are reputed to have a beneficial effect on neighbouring plants by discouraging pests and diseases or improving growth.

Thanks for explaining that, I wasn't sure what companion planting meant either. I only grow native (and low care) plants, they seem to fend for themselves pretty well.
