"Through this new book, Jean-Paul Thorez and Sandra Lefrançois take stock of current knowledge. Theory and empiricism Through this new book, Jean-Paul Thorez and Sandra Lefrançois take stock of current knowledge. They have analyzed and synthesized most of the existing sources. And they have collected a lot of feedback from gardeners: readers and contributors to the magazine Les 4 Saisons du jardin bio, gardeners from the Terre vivante ecological park, gardeners from the Rouen region, as well as their own. Why and how to combine companion plants? The authors first give the 10 good reasons to combine companion plants: fewer weeds, fewer pests and diseases, more pollinators, better productivity... All this without using chemical fertilizers or pesticides! They then list the 7 golden rules: mix vegetables, flowers, aromatics..., have space, light and water, know the plants which will have a strong allelopathic effect (*)... A directory of 300 plants In order to put it into practice and to judiciously combine plants, the authors propose a directory of 300 plants. Description and uses (when necessary), properties, and above all, associations to favor or avoid are indicated in this book. Thus, morning glory and melon, carrot and leek, lavender and rose bush go very well together... On the other hand, associations such as cucumber and potato or garlic and bean should be avoided! (*): all the direct or indirect, positive or negative biochemical interactions of one plant on another."
