Utilize the natural properties of plants to nourish the soil, repel pests, and secure a greater harvest. With plenty of insightful advice and suggestions for planting schemes, Louise Riotte will inspire you to turn your garden into a naturally nurturing ecosystem.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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.

Best as a hard copy: plans and other diagrams are difficult to read in ebook form.

If you want this book, I recommend purchasing it as a hard copy because plans and other diagrams are difficult to read in ebook form.

I have no idea why this book is so popular

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book does not go into detail or the reason behind any of the companion planting suggestions. It is also organized in a very haphazard manner. There are various gardening topics throughout , like composting, insecticides, mulching, compost, etc, but they are very basic and only a paragraph or two at most
on each topic. Nothing insightful or instructive.
Then there is an entire chapter devoted to poisonous plants, and their effects. It’s nothing more than a long list of plants which I’ve never even heard of about 70% of them, and there is no description or illustrations or pictures so the information is useless. Oh and it lists things like strawberries in the poisonous chapter because it can cause ‘dermatitis’.

I read through the book in about an hour and will probably never reference it again because there is nothing that really provides instructive information, and if it did, I wouldn’t be able to locate it because the book is so poorly organized.

Save your money and get a real gardening book.

You can learn just as much based off some of the good and free companion planting charts online

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I expected more based off the reviews. You can learn just as much based off some of the good and free companion planting charts online, and in less time. There is no scientific information, no useful charts, and it seems like some internet companies have become "sources" just as advertising purposes within the book. The book is also set up almost like a glossary of terms, offering general information and little else.

Misleading

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book has very few suggestions on less than 10 pages for what plants can be planted well together. Most of the book is describing uses for individual plants. It does a good job of explaining how herbs are used. I already knew the uses for the things I wanted to plant. This book was useless for me.

You need this book. Excellent gardening/plant reference book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you are seeing this, it is because you were interested in gardening. That means you need this book. It is such an excellent reference. There are details for every plant imaginable beyond just what they can be best planted near. I can’t imagine using the advice for each plant in this book and not having an awesome garden. I saw it mentioned on a YouTube gardening video. It was a great find. I highly recommend it.

Beets do Not love Radishes

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

"Beets and radishes should be planted away from each other? But I don't have time to move the terracotta pot, it's heavy! And they're in pots, right? Not sharing soil? I mean... if it were really a thing, everyone would know this."

I was WRONG.

Anybody got a book recommendation on how to SAVE the beet seeds? Are they dead or will lessened proximity revive them? I'd check the one I have, but it's buried somewhere under several cookbooks...

Best gardening book I've bought

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 17, 2019

I haven't put this book down since it arrived. It has some great information on companion planting and is written in a really accessible style. I would love for more in-depth knowledge, but this book is a great book to keep coming back to again and again.

OK

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is very biased to the Southern (I think) United States, and focuses on the author's local pests and diseases; which is understandable but makes it of limited use in the UK. Also, the content can be quite random as she digresses at will. I found a simple companion planting matrix online, which has been much more useful.
