Planting Pairs

Remaining on the subject of 'grow your own', here are some additional matches made in heaven:-

Carrots and spring onions in alternate rows - the smell of onions deters carrot root fly
Sweetcorn and French beans - the roots of the beans release nitrogen which is beneficial for the sweetcorn
Basil and tomatoes - the gorgeous basil scent wards off whitefly - good on the plate, great in the garden!
