Companion planting is the careful placement of vegetables and herbs which have beneficial effects on one another. The plants that we sow/plant together support each other for the best of crop yield. These can be attributed to physical reasons that taller plants provide shelter for plants that need protection. Climbing plants can grow on to taller plants to maximise production in small spaces. Some other plants make good companions because their roots grow at different depths so that they avoid competition for nutrients and water.
