Part of a new series of six attractively illustrated books on essential gardening skills, this is full of useful advice. --BBC Gardens Illustrated
Product Description
Companion planting simply means working with nature to get the best from your plants, and, as Bob Flowerdew explains, is the key to successful pollination and the prevention of pests. With over 30 years' experience as an organic and often experimental gardener, Bob is the perfect person to explain just how it works. He has long observed interesting and potentially useful interactions between different plants - how some flourish when planted together while others will fail. For example a border of lavender, box or rosemary will protect your plants from invasion by slugs and snails, and growing chives under roses will help the roses resist blackspot and increase their performance. He also shows how to select plants that won't compete for light, space or nutrients in the soil. One of an indispensable series of books, 'Companion Planting' will answer all your queries, and allow to you really make the most of your garden.

A very disappointing read. A combination of large print and pictures on every other page made me wonder whether there was enough content to justify a book on this subject. After the usual history and hints, which most gardeners know anyway, the rest was a load of vague 'what if' and 'maybe' and the end result was less than one could get from an internet search engine with a simple question on companion planting. Overall, not worth the money.

Really good information but the dreadful, amateurish, painted illustrations give the book a very old fashioned look. I bought it as a present but was almost too embarrassed to give it due to that, however due to the excellent information contained therein I overcame that in the end!

Purchased this as a gift for my husband. He has found quite a few tips to try in the veg garden as he does not like using chemicals. The drawings are good too.
Listmania!
