Carrots Love Tomatoes:
Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening
Louise Riotte (Author)This gardening classic was first published in 1975, and
now a second generation of gardeners who prefer pest-resistant planning to
chemicals will find a place for it on the shelves. Not only does it tell what to
plant with what, but also how to use herbal sprays to control insects, what
wild plants to encourage in the garden, how to grow fruit and nut trees, how
to start small plots or window-box gardens, and much more. It's one of the
most practical books around for any gardener of edibles, no matter how
serious or casual.
