ebook

Companion planting is a phrase that has taken on many meanings for today's gardeners. Within the scientific community, companion planting is also called intercropping and is a form of polyculture, which describes a method of planting species of plants together for mutual benefit, usually in agricultural situations. In today's gardens, it is hard to determine a wildflower or weed from any of the other plants people have growing in their garden. There is a growing interest in many of them for gardens. After all, they are easy to grow, require little

to no attention, and require only the water nature provides. As an added advantage, they will often grow in difficult growing areas, allowing gardeners to brighten and beautify the not-so-pretty corners of their yard. This book will give you the information you need for companion planting with weeds and wildflowers. As a bonus for all types of companion planting, there is special section on feeding your garden properly to ensure it grows big and healthy, and a chapter on garden maintenance. Case studies of real stories from real people, along with a list of resources to help you learn more about companion planting in general are also included. Gardening—especially when using companion planting techniques—is a cathartic process full of learning and joy!
