Carrots Love Tomatoes
Secrets of Companion Planting For Successful Gardening

by Louise Riotte

     

It is not too early to begin planning your summer vegetable garden and before you do, please read this book. With over 500,000 copies in print, this revised and updated edition explains how to use plants' natural partnerships to produce bigger and better harvests. You'll also reap the benefits of pest control that often accompany plant parings.

Want to keep whiteflies away from your tomatoes?  Try either planting nasturtiums alongside them or add phosphorus magnesium to the soil. Also, try placing spinach or bush beans adjacent to your strawberries this year and see if you don't get a better harvest and have fewer pest problems.

There are plenty of tips like these that have made this little book a useful guide for gardeners all over the country.
