maximizing yields

Companion planting enhances garden productivity and health by pairing plants with complementary growth habits and nutrient needs, which maximizes space, improves soil health, and controls pests naturally. Effective combinations like tomatoes with basil or beans with corn harness these benefits, while ensuring incompatible plants like tomatoes and cabbage are separated heightens success. This practice, deeply rooted in traditional gardening, is supported by principles of nutrient balance, pest management, and pollination enhancement, making it a sustainable choice for gardeners aiming to reduce chemical use and increase yields.
