Companion Planting: The Beginner's Guide to Companion Gardening (The Organic Gardening Series) Paperback – May 19, 2014

had one of these yrs ago.People don't realize you can't plant some veggies side by side. this was very helpful.gonna make a chart before next summer, so i don't have to be grabbing book all the time. lol good price. bought one for daughter also.

This book is extremely easy to follow. Each plant is listed by name and describes which plants should be planted nearby or away from to improve yield and taste. Nice simple format with excellent tips to improve your garden.

Being a beginner gardener this book was very easy to follow along and understand. It helped me plan my garden layout to optimize my pest control and production of my garden. Definitely will order another one for a gift. The only downside was the lack of pictures, hence why only 4 stars.

I ordered this book and because of the price, didn't expect too much. When I got the book and sat down and read it, I was so shocked at the great information it contains. It is worth twice or more what I paid. Everything is alphabetical, so you have no problem finding what you are looking for.

Super helpful book! Easy reference. However, there is a typo. Page 81 says broccoli bad neighbor is lettuce. Page 129 says when broccoli is planted near lettuce, both crops show increased yields.

This book is definitely for beginners. There is a lot of useful information. However, I was disappointed at the lack of illustrations. It would have been useful to have a picture reference, especially for the garden insects. The book also seemed to pair more common plants like basil and tomatoes. This is fine, but I have tarragon and want to know what it pairs well with. Overall, an easy read and a good starting point for the amateur gardener.

I enjoyed the book for the informative descriptions of each plant. The description of the plant itself as well as the plants which are helpful to it and harmful to it. I'm sure this will help this summer when I begin my gardening adventure.

Because I am a long time gardener and am simply looking for the basic information, I found this book to be what I was looking for without a lot of fancy full color pictures which I didn't need. I downloaded it to my Kindle to take with me to the garden as my quick reference while I garden and plant. It easily serves my needs and purpose since I already know my plants. Anything else I can look up for identifying as I go as needed.
