Carrots
Love Tomatoes - Secrets of Companion Planting
for Successful Gardening
Lousie Riotte 1998 (USA)
With this classic
gardening reference, first published in 1975,
learn which plants nourish the soil, which keep
away bugs and pests, and which just don’t get
along.
Any gardener who prefers
pest-resistant planning to chemicals will find a
place for this volume on their bookshelf. Not
only does it tell what to plant with what, but
also how to use herbal sprays to control
insects, how to improve your soil, and much
more.
Sprinkled with her
trademark quotations, anecdotes and detailed
line drawings, Louise Riotte lists hundreds of
plants and their ideal (and not so ideal)
companions. Readers can easily identify the
plants they intend to grow and design a garden
for maximum compatibility and yield.
This is a US publication
so a small part of the information – ie seed
sources, which wild plants to encourage and some
pests you may want to control – is less relevant
to Australia. The majority of the book, however,
is generally applicable.
