Planting Companion Plants for your Garden
Planting companion plants with your tomatoes can improve their growth and health, as well as help with pest control. Here are some great companions for your tomato plants:
- Basil: This herb not only enhances the flavor of tomatoes but also helps repel pests like aphids, whiteflies, and mosquitoes.
- Marigolds: These vibrant flowers help deter nematodes and other pests, while adding a splash of color to your garden.
- Garlic and Onions: These alliums can help keep pests like aphids and spider mites at bay.
- Carrots: They can help improve soil structure, allowing tomato roots to grow more easily.
- Lettuce: This leafy green can act as a living mulch, helping to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Just remember to give your tomato plants enough space to grow and ensure they receive plenty of sunlight.
