A-Z of Companion Planting

The A-Z of Companion Planting explains the theory and the practice. It looks at its usage historically and brings the practice up to date with all today’s gardening techniques and our desire for chemical-free vegetables. Then the author guides you through which crops, herbs, grasses and fruits can be planted together (and equally important, which mustn’t) to make sure that you get the very best crop with the highest yields – and naturally!

Jayne Neville, herself a practitioner of companion planting, discusses and explains the reasoning behind it, giving the reader a fuller and more rounded understanding of an age-old gardening practice which modern reliance on ‘chemical warfare’ has unjustly marginalised. With the current trends towards both permaculture and no-dig gardening, this might just be your passport to healthy and environment-friendly crop production!

With easy to use diagnostic tables and an A-Z section detailing the plants and their ideal companions, Jayne Neville’s book is destined to be a classic reference text on this scientifically unproven yet ‘known to work’ area of gardening.
