There are some good books out about companion gardening. One book I love and it is an older one is Garden Way's Joy of Gardening by Dick Raymond. it is from the 1980s and I find it full of good info. Good luck with your gardening. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I am also using NEEM oil this year for pests. The combination of the two seems to be the key for me. I found great companion planting resources with my county ext. office and state university Ag departments. All of the info I use is online. Quote \| Reply \| Report
