What is the truth about companion planting? stories "old" Myth, rumor and "abound. However, a track can be found in India and the lands adjacent to the dates of gardening to thousands Ayurvedic years – and is based on the plantation society.
Good news for those of us in the West dedicated to natural gardening is it shows a proven by time to grow more food in our gardens, biological, chemical-free. In fact, one might call intensive organic gardening.
