Companion Planting

Care who your neighbors are? Plants, flowers, vegetables and herbs do! OPM, or Organic Pest Management is best practiced through companion plantings. They increase visual beauty and production while deterring pests naturally. There are lots of charts out there, but this is the one that I’ve compiled over the years. Enjoy!
