Companion Planting for Vegetable Gardening

What if you could get better vegetable garden harvests by combining plants properly? What if you can't keep all the recommendations straight and simply need an easy-to-remember and use system?

Award winning garden author Doug Green tells you what really works and what myths abound in companion planting. He strips the mystery away from the accumulated lore to give you real tools that work in your garden.

And he does it using simple graphics that give you a quick reference to what goes next to what.

He describes the exact plants to use with trap-cropping - attracting insects to plants you don't care about to protect those you do want to grow.

He gives you a simple system of crop rotation to eliminate the buildup of crop pests. When you rotate your plants from year to year using this simple system, you get rid of problems before they start.

The easy to understand graphics of traditional companion planting techniques were designed with help and feedback from his readers. Each vegetable in the garden is presented as, "if you grow this, then this is what it does or doesn't do" picture. Simple graphics worked for his Facebook readers and they will work for you.

By using both the scientifically proven techniques as well as the traditional garden practices in this book, your vegetable garden will be a healthier place for you, you children and your pets (always assuming your pets steal vegetables like Doug's dogs used to do)
