Tomatoes and Basil

• - Basil is known to improve the growth and flavor of tomatoes while also repelling pests like flies and mosquitoes.

• Carrots and Onions

• - This combination works well because the pungent smell of onions repels carrot flies, and carrots help to aerate the soil for onions.

• Corn, Beans, and Squash (Three Sisters)

• - This is a traditional Native American planting method where corn provides a structure for beans to climb, beans fix nitrogen in the soil, and squash covers the ground to suppress weeds.

• Radishes and Spinach

• - Radishes can deter leaf miners and the fast-growing radishes can be harvested before spinach needs more room.

• Cabbage and Dill

• - Dill attracts beneficial insects like predatory wasps that prey on pests that attack cabbage.

• Lettuce and Marigold

• - Marigolds are known to repel nematodes and other garden pests, which benefits lettuce when planted nearby.

• Peppers and Cabbage

• - Peppers can deter cabbage worms and other pests that target cabbage and related plants.

These combinations take advantage of natural pest repellents and mutual benefits between plants, fostering a healthier and more productive garden environment.
