:cool: 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.

Companion planting is the planting of different crops in proximity (in gardening and agriculture), on the theory that they assist each other in nutrient uptake, link, link, and other factors necessary to increasing link.
Companion planting is used by farmers and gardeners in both industrialized and developing countries for many reasons. Many of the modern principles of companion planting were present many centuries ago in the link.
For farmers using an link system, increased yield and/or reduction of link is the goal[link].
In the link, tropical crops are used instead of temperate ones and provide NGOs and other organizations a tool for alleviating poverty.
