Companion Planting Basics // Garden Answer

Ahh yes, I love companion planting! I’ve been companion planting for years and it works great! I purchased a book called Carrots Love Tomatoes, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in starting!

I used nasturtiums last year with my tomato plants, it worked well except that they really stole a LOT of nutrients from the tomato plants. For that reason be watchful for that and stay on top of it. Also, how do you recommend to rid the aphids once they appear on the nasturtiums? My nasturtiums were covered and I just pulled them out and threw them in the yard waste bin. The nasturtiums did naturally appear this year because they reseeded themselves, which was a nice surprise. :-) I love your videos, thank you for making them.

Where is your parents' nursery? I'd like to plan a trip to eastern Oregon. I'm in the Willamette Valley. Name of the nursery?

Wow, you sure know your stuff! Thank you so much for this information! Truly appreciate it! :)

Tomato plants are poisonous lmao 😂

Ever since Ralph Snodsmith past, Ive been missing his love plants and his knowledge. Thanks for filling the ‘gap’ and for giving so purely.

I’d love if you did another video on this topic that goes into more ideas and details!

Great video. You should make a few other companion planting videos. I know I would watch them

Can we have a part 2 video of this topic? Companion planting 201?

How do you get rid of gophers?

really good and nice

Ok this needs an advanced version. Pleeease

Great info!!! Thank you. I’ll be planning my garden around this idea this year.

So I can plant a tomato plant and a marigold plant in a 5 gallon bucket and not worry too much about these insects? Or I should probably do both marigold and basil in the same container with my tomatoes. This is promising! :)

can bush beans & chives grow together?

What if I want to keep nasturshums, I heard you. An put them in salads because they are edible, and so pretty, but I did not know about the acids, and you are so right, they eat up the nasturshums. Any ideas. Or other host plants for aphids?

Awesome

Concerning aphids, take a couple of tomato leaves, crush them and put them into a gallon container. Fill with water, let set for 24 hrs, then strain out the leaves and pour into a spray bottle.

You now have a solution that will kill aphids shortly after you spray your tomato plants.

Be SURE to spray UNDER the leaves as well because that's where they like to hide.

I use this EVERY TIME I see aphids because it WORKS wonders. 😯

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝

Wish I had known that about chives before buying on sale 10 years ago. Finally dug them all out this summer after they took over my adjacent perennial garden. They were garlic chives which were bigger thugs than regular chives! NEVER again!!!!

Thank you for sharing... but you talk so fast!

I talk fast however when I am listening to a new topic I need to bear it a bit slower to absorb ( it’s so frustrating having to back up and hear things again and again to get yo the part that I missed that was too fast ). Thank you for snarling all your information

Very helpful thank you 😊

Can you tell me what you topped those raised beds with, is that fine wood mulch or peat? I love your vids and they have been vey helpful.

I’m concerned about marigolds because repel “pests.” What is a pest? One person’s pest is another’s treasure.
