Companion Plants and Related Items
Nasturtiums belong in a companion planted garden because they are beloved by aphids and so act as a sort of “trap crop”. They are favoured over most other plants and aphids make a bee line for them. The aroma can also confuse pests. Ideal planted around or near broccoli, cauliflower, brussels, cabbage, corn, peppers, cucumbers, radishes, kale, squash and pumpkins. Just £2.39 for 20 seeds.
Marigolds are superb to use as companion plants because the musky scent of the flower protects such thing as peppers and eggplants from flee beetles. They also attract beneficial insects. Plant near beans, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels, corn, tomatoes, kale, parsnips, peppers, potatoes, radishes, squash and pumpkins. Just £2.99 for 100 seeds.
