Product Description

This work on companion gardening - the technique of using the beneficial effects that plants growing in close proximity have on each other - is full of imaginative ideas and practical tips. Growing chives in the rose garden will help the roses resist blackspot and increase their perfume. Keep onions away from beans or neither will do well. Grow nasturtiums under apple trees to attract woolly aphids away from your crop. With Bob Flowerdew's help you can create a garden that thrives naturally and is interesting and colourful all year round.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of information, but you need time to use it properly, 6 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This is a great book full of interesting information. The only problem is that each plant is mentioned in different places all over the book, so if you look up one plant which you are interested in in the index, you will then spend ages going from page to page to find out all references to it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 16 Nov 2006
By James T (England) - See all my reviews
This is a good book with lots of interesting information on companion gardening. The idea being that you grow plants in the same area so that they work in unison rather than against each other and wildlife.
Within the book, there are lots of great photographs to give you ideas. There could have been more practical tips and a more measured,detailed approach to specific beneficial plants, which is why I am only giving it 3 stars. You see, a tip here and there interspersed between a large section of prose is not going to be as helpful as a table giving a more detailed explanation of the different type of plants and the beneficial wildlife each plant attracts. Nevertheless it is still a good book for the casual reader.
