Top 5 Companion Plants to Maximize Yields, Enhance Flavor and Deter Pests
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Companion planting is a method of garden used by pairing certain varieties of plants which will benefit one another to help maximize yields, enhance flavors, or distract/deter pests. In this video, I explain my top 5 favorite companion plants and why!
1) Beans and Peas - fix nitrogen in soil, especially good to plant with green plants like spinach, lettuce, kale
2) Allums - deters pests and grows very quickly taking a small amount of space, can be staggered or planted easily in pots with plants where space is limited
3) Marigolds - deters and distracts many types of pests, creates a natural pesticide in soil, works well as companion to many plant varieties
4) Herbs - deters pests and enhances flavor in tomatoes
5) Radishes - also grows where space is limited, will serve as good companion to squash as they deter squash bugs

I love how you got right to the chase. Some just go on and on for 5 minutes before getting to the point. Thank you for the information
Something they do a long intro before they start with the reason for the video. They forget you can skip pasted it. So a waste of time editing it into every video.
Agree
I agree
April Carr So we’ll said, thank you .
Agreed, love you get right to it! Added bonus, you write it up below, so we can listen first, then write it down after. Great technique.
Plant lettuce seeds with squash plant.
When the hot summer comes shade, and moisture of squash leaves allows lettuce to make it through heat.
In malaysia we use neem leaves to repel pest including ants, aphids, grasshoppers, etc.. It is very powerful because of the bitterness.. It wont kill these pest, dont worry... It just make them flee from your plants but dont get carried away to shower the flower with the neems because bees wont pollinate the pollen in your flower.. I hope my info can help those gardeners who wish to plant their crops free of chemical substances.. Peace yo
Nice. I grow every single companion crop you have listed... and use them the same way. Though I seed my future home for tomatoes with radishes every year for the early harvest. And then, after the last frost (about mid-May here) I plant basil at the base of every single tomato vine. Makes for tastier tomatoes. IMHO. Plus, you get the added advantage of double-cropping.
Thank you for sharing your garden and knowledge with us. I’m a UA-cam gardener too. It’s my 3rd year and ever year I try to get better. This year I’m trying intercropping/companion planting. I found your channel in my research. This is very helpful and I and so happy I found your channel because it has so much to offer. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels! Happy Planting!
Thanks for sharing. I know that you haven't posted in a few years but I highly encourage you to get back to it because you obviously have a lot of knowledge and experience to offer.
the radish /squash companion tip is gold, thank you
Radish (and arugula) also acts as a trap crop for nematodes
Thank you SO much. This is the first time we are doing a large garden and I have been looking for these tips! We were told about the radishes being planted with squash and you are correct, we had zero squash bugs also, so I have been wondering what other plants work together. Thank you!
Planting garlic with my calendula made such a difference! I had less problems with pests and they grew so big so fast! Thank you for this video.
Oh calendula! Nice I’ll need to try that ❤
Lol I’m looking these videos up because of my cat who keeps digging up my garlic SHE LOVES GARLIC and won’t let them stay in the ground She immediately unburied them and licks them and leaves them exposed and she does it to each of them I plant 😂 none of my other cats ever did this I’m hoping I can get something to keep my cat off the garlic 😂
Not only do marigolds repel pests, but they do the double duty of attracting good insects, like bumblebees and butterflies. You can't get much better than that!
how are butterflies good?
Butterflies pollinate stuff
Don't marigolds also have some medicinal properties? To make tea or something?
@@recoveringsoul755 I just googled this. From what I read, there is a plant called calendula officinalis, which is also called "pot marigold." However, it's not a true marigold. The type that people tend to grow in their flowerbeds is tangetes patula, also called the French marigold. The French marigold actually a native of Mexico. Pot marigolds are native to Europe, and apparently they do indeed have some medicinal properties, and you can also make tea out of it. Interesting!
@@hamsterama You are correct about pot marigold, except the "tea" tastes disgusting and you would not drink it for pleasure - but it is an excellent gargle for a sore throat (my family grew this for as long as I can remember, for this very purpose). But be careful, unlike french marigold, pot marigold attracts aphids and other bad bugs.
Thanks old girl. years ago in the 70's I had a book called "Carrots Love Tomatoes" it had a lot of good info.
SamytheGreek I would love to find that book
@@yourfavnurseb9699 It's available on Amazon -- that's where I bought it.
It's a great book by Louise Riotte and easy to find. She was awesome!
Comfrey is a great nitrogen fixer also ! And a medicinal herb
Just as long as you don't take it orally.
Sorry, comfrey does not fix nitrogen. NPK of Comfrey is NPK: 0.75%, 0.25%, 0.20%.
I had great success last year with vertical growing on cattle fence. Tomato and bush bean worked great backed by sunflowers. I mix coffee grounds with egg shell and char for my start. Coffee grounds on top repels squash bugs. Coffee filters around the squash plant keeps snails away all Summer. Great video!
This is something I am trying to do, to put two plants or grow two plants together to help each other. I love your video
This was a great video. Thank you for sharing. I’m going put in a few radish seeds with my squash starts and see how that helps with the squash bugs. Thank you for the tip. I’ve been putting in a basil seed with every tomato plant for the last few years and I really like the results. The basil has done really well. Under the shade of the tomato.
Thank you for the info! I'm a beginner and I would love to do more on companion planting on my garden than chemical sprays.
great information !!!!! I refuse to put any chemical sprays on my garden and love companion planting
Please feel free to post questions below! I'd love to hear from you :)

hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover diy aquaponics system plans try Tarbetti Amazing Aquaponics Tutor (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbor got great success with it.
Since marigolds produce a pesticide from their roots are they safe to plant with root crops like potatoes and carrots?
I plant as many varieties of companions that I can on my micro farm. I never have pest problems and get some great harvests. Thanks for the video you have a nice garden. Borage is also a wonderful herb to add, as it's edible and also makes a really nice edible flower. This year I plan to do Borage flower ice cubes with my daughter Karin.
Happy Gardening

Marty, Would you mind sharing the details or any documents? My email id is santoshittanagi@gmail.com. kindly help.
Enjoyed watching this. I’m going to try your radish tip and pair it with my yellow summer squash. Last time I grew squash it had more enemies than friends! Very 😢. Happy Spring! 🌱
I'm willing to try almost anything to stop those squash borers. Thanks for the idea!
Foil the stems, row cover, Bt or spinosad
For those of us in the Pacific Northwest. Yes, marigolds have some benefits. But they also attract
slugs who eat them like salad! Once they eat those, they then head for your vegetables. Pulled two
unused pots apart today and a three inch slug was having a nap waiting for dark. He did not make it.
Gonna try all these tips for my squash n zucchini...come late June into July they get infested with squash bugs. Always looking for tips on deterrents. Thanks
I hope that you can make an updated version. And I love how you get right to it.
Oh, and I would love it if you have advice for natural way to deal with slugs. I live in alaska and slugs are an issue.
Thank you, I am a beginner, this was helpful
I have my own little garden and hearing this one, I feel like I'm on the right track😘
This is my first time enjoying your UA-cam channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.
Hi,
Have a nice day!
During net surfing I have gone through your channel.
I watched video regarding companion plants. Very good and informative video.
Some comments are also very good.
I appreciate and wish for your good health and wellness.
I’m growing a lot of these in my small urban backyard garden.
Great information. This year I am going to try companion planting for the first time, probably in walmart "grow bags" - I know what I just learned in your video will be valuable. Thank you!
Rabbits LOVE my chives...I can't grow them because the bunnies chew them right down to the ground. Their favorite plant by far. ;)
Thanks for the radish tips. I'll be trying them this summer
I hav been looking for something to rid squash bugs. can't wait to try
Thank you! taking notes for my first garden :)
heh, I accidentally stumbled upon some of these this year. I planted radishes, beans, peas, and basil+ tomatoes this year. After some trial and error I've found some companions that work great for my area, but I do plant in the soil of my tiny backyard (not pots) so the strategies are different. After a year of trial and error I have hit on some very nice strategies for minimizing weeds while utilizing my small space and not drying out the soil. I was taught to weed profusely and space plants individually but have found this method to dry out the soil and affect my larger plants like tomatoes. Spreading grass-clippings and leaves over the ground prevented things drying out. This year I've transitioned to growing low plants at the base of larger plants as well.
Shade herbs are nice at the base of things like tomatoes. I put radishes near my squash this year and this was good as they coexisted, then the squash took over-late season the when the radishes were done. Will try marigolds. I have some chain-link fence rounding my little yard so I've been experimenting with growing vine plants and then greens like lettuce/Kale at the base. This works really nicely as the greens do well deterring weed growth and lock in the moisture. Carrots are another amazing plant for pairing. They grow thick and have beautiful foilage, but fairly low and don't mind shade. I had them near my tomatoes this year and they loved each other and the carrots bushed out and covered the ground at the base. My favorite discovery was probably vines+greens at the base though. :)
Yeah... I noticed that radishes will get leggy fast if overtaken.. I learned that I've gotta plant them early like succession planting (so they have a few weeks to mature before the main plant gets big).
What a great idea on planting kale at the base of vine plant! I'll try that! Thanks for the tips on carrots as well! I've been hesitant to grow them because I felt I couldn't get enough space efficiency. I'm big on growing cut-and-come plants for continuous harvest.
Another great way to prevent weeds is to spread shredded newspaper (or un-shredded works too) around the base. It's not necessarily pretty, but your can also use brown paper bags. I like this because after the season is through, you can just turn it over into your soil or compost. It will break down for next year. The paper also holds moisture.
Thanks for your comments! I enjoy reading them!
danaphanous ty for the valuable info!!
The Urban Patio Gardener ty for great, informative video. wondering what the pvc pipe is for (I assume watering) and how that works.
Great video. Not many companion videos out there that I've found with as much info as yours had. You should do more. Thank you 🤞🤞
Wow thank you! ❤ we planted marigolds near our tomatoes 🍅
Thanx for the info. Waiting for weather to clear so I can get to planting. Got beets in the cold boxes, they are coming right on.
I had seeded everything indoors/under cover throughout Jan and February as per, and have been transplanting out as early as March, even my sweetcorn & my tomatoes are out with peas, rasish, kale, spinach, butternut squash, etc.. everything is out & just awaiting some of my successionals to germinate before safely moving them out too. The best of it is, flowers by the hundreds are popping up.. nasturtium, marigolds, calendula, red poppy and california poppy, zinnia cactus mix, campanula, cosmos, nemophila (baby blue eyes), china aster, alongside plenty of wild bee mixes for our pollinator etc.. all herbs are thriving in with brassicas & alliums too! I am quite glad I started early this year, such a lot to do 😁 Good luck with everything, and wishing you every success 🙂✌
That video was super helpful, thank you
Beautiful video and well shot. Lovely and informative space. thank you.
Very interesting - learned some good stuff to try!
This was a very informative video you did a great job keep up the hard work I love teaching this stuff poly environment s are important to create harmoniz ed gardens keep learning keep teaching
Excellent! TFS I’m going to watch again and take notes! 🌸🌸🌸
Straight to the point. Love it!
Extremely useful, thank you!!!
I run all my tomatoes up a trellis, with many trimmed to a single main stem. I end up with a lot of space in my pots, and even though I am planting radishes separately this spring, I think I may do some fall radishes in with those tomatoes. I guess I've been a little paranoid about putting other plants in the same bucket, for fear of taking away some of the energy from my tomatoes. Thanks for reminding me that I can do that, and I'll have to keep that in mind next spring as well, because I can start some of these companion plants way before my tomatoes and peppers. ~8^) Zone 6 btw.
thank you awesome video, am just about to plant my Autumn garden
I love your content . You are straight to the point
Excellent 👍
Wonderful information, thanks for sharing.
Great and useful information!
Lots of good information. I'm definitely going to check out more of your videos. Thanks.
Thank you for this very informative video. I really hope you’ll be adding more videos soon. All the best!
I just saw this. I hope you are right about the marigolds and squash bugs! I have them every year, but this time I will plant my marigolds with my squash! Thanks in advance!!!!
That's plant radishes with the squash.
You can plant marigolds around them also, though!
Awesome tips thank you !!!
amazing! thanks for sharing GROW ON
You just gave me the idea to plant Marigolds with my black currants. I have issues with a currant bore bugs that sweep through our area every 3 years or so. It cant hurt and will be beautiful. Thanks. New sub!
Great video
Thank you so much for the tips, this video was very helpful.
Marigolds are awesome. And they grow like weeds. I sprinkle their dead heads in all my pots.
Why do you sprinkle the dead heads in your pots? And what kind of pots, like veggies? They grow like weeds? I think i'm doomed lol i'm a new gardener and I planted my marigolds into my bathtub of bell pepper plants. They're growing bigger than I thought. I thought they'd bloom then die and be gone. Now i'm wondering about their roots interfering with the pepper plants. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks❤
@@ClaireNicole33 Veggie, fruit, and herb containers, the marigolds have shallowish roots and work as pest control.
@@ClaireNicole33
I did same thing you did and for same reason but had second thoughts and very soon after planting marogold I removed them from my pepper plant and replanted into small dollar store planter right next to pepper plant.
@@ClaireNicole33
No such thing as matigolds being gone as the pretty flowers are a plethora of seeds and will continue yo grow more marigolds. (take a flower head apart and see that they consists of many many seeds) thats why i removed what I could without disturbing my pepper plant and even left some rooted and removed plant and top roots and replanted in small container next to peppers.
@@poeticpoems1234 Thank you so much for helping! I'm gonna remove them this afternoon.
Amazing information! Thank you for sharing.
I agree with the last comment that you get right to the point and share really good cool information. thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm sure traffic will tick up as the country buckles in for what will take years to repair ... hope you're doing well.
Nicely done !! Thank you !
✌️❤️😁
Great tips. Thank you for sharing. Love your channel.👍
Where I am. Marigolds, basil and Oregano grow really easy and it is dirt cheap to build a ´fence´ around the entire garden that stays year after year.
This is the first video I watched on your Channel. Very good content!
This is very helpful, thankyou! The rabbit population has grown in my neighborhood in recent years. Losing spring growth has been discouraging. Installing fence, planting marigolds, garlic, etc. will deter the little critters.
Jim F anything that rabbits like, we have planted in a 6 x 9 kennel thats inside of our fenced garden. The added benefit is it gives us four sides for climbing veggies and I have a couple birdhouses wired on that are “rented”. 😉
great information
wow beautiful Garden
FOOD for thought 😁Thanks.
l love this
awesome video, thanks for sharing!!!
Extremely well done!
you were so helpful to me . squash bugs were all over my plants. bunches of eggs!!
Nice job 👍🏻
I am going to grow onions for green onions in salads in a ring around my potato plants in growing bags.
Thanks for the great video. You kept things simple and clear. I'm definitely going to try radishes around my squash plants.
It doesn't work. Don't waste your time. Sorry.
I live in a city with limited space it's a row home and I've been thinking of ways growing vegetables and herbs on the deck out back and you brought back some knowledge that I had acquired from being in horticulture and that is cool what you have set up utilizing old plastic containers
I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great info!
I put garlic in my patio container with a cherry tomato. Also did the same thing with fordhook squash. What do you think about the combinations?
Stinging nettle is a beneficial weed too. Nettle can be eaten and made in tea which is very nutritious. I encourage stinging nettle to grow in my grow beds. Helps keep my soil alive and keeps the cats out too.
I had nettle in my garden. It kept ME out of the garden :).
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Good information and practical approach--thanks.
Well spoken and good detail! Great video!
Thank you very much for your words of advice.
Thank you for sharing dear! I learned a lot from watching you. I'm going to try it. God bless!😀
Thank you!
Thank you this was very informative and time conscious!!!
Great info. Thank you soo much :)
Very helpful!!!
Thank you love your video alot of good information and right to the point 🦋🦋🦋🦋
Absolutely appreciated all your advice 💖👍🏼
Keep up the good work sister
Ah! We had a lot of horned worms on our tomato plants, so much so that we didnt even enjoy the fruits of our heirloom plant. And our basil plants were planted YARDS AWAY. Thanks for the tips, will definitely remember when planting next year.
You can see tomato horn worms well at night using a black light. Just pick them off and put them in soapy water.
Sad to see she hasn't been on in six years. She is a wealth of knowledge and a Blessing. All this really does work. I plant 2 to 3 icicle radishes with every cucumber and squash plant and have never seen a borer or beetle. I let them go to seed picking some of the seed pods to stirfry and then save the rest for seeds at the end of season. Have never had tomatoes worms either after planting Borage and basil with them for the past eight years.
Thankyou for the companion planting
Thank you, a very helpful video. I have taken notes and I have learnt a lot.
Great tips with multiple functions. I'm excited to add more into my garden. Thank you!
Now I know what to do with the last of my radish seeds! I have my fingers crossed for some squash this year!
Great video.
