After studying crop interactions for years, David Knaus, Azure’s Greenhouse Manager, developed a chart that can help guide companion planting for most home gardens. These companions can be used to repel common pests, stimulate better growth in your crops, attract beneficial insects or sacrifice the crops as a pest diversion. Happy gardening!
