EDITORIAL REVIEW

Transform a messy, tangled garden into a lush, productive retreat with this simple yet thorough handbook. The basics of companion gardening can be easily integrated into one’s gardening style using the nurturing power of Mother Nature and taking fundamental principles into account. Not merely a seasonal occupation or hobby, companion planting is a natural way to restore balance to outdoor spaces. By planting certain plants in close proximity, each helps the others. Easily implemented techniques such as increasing the essential oils and nutrients in plants, conditioning the soil, and attracting helpful insects are discussed, as well as ways to reduce pests and diseases without the use of toxic pesticides.

this book is a must for those like me who are learning the tricks of a successful garden.
There is so much more to it than sticking a living plant or a seed into dirt to make it grow.

Great Little Book

I also purchased Secrets of Companion Planting at the same time as Carrots Love Tomatoes. Purchased through ebates dot com to get a 4% rebate then though overstock dot com. This is a small book but what is GREAT about it is the back which has a list of good companions and bad companion foods to grow together. Go to let's say carrots and the book will show which foods NOT to grow next to carrots and and which foods to grow next to carrots. This one stop shopping list is worth the cost of this little book alone.

Seriously buy Carrots Love Tomatoes with Secrets of Companion Planting as they compliment each other.

I onwn this book, (120 pages long) As well as Carrots LOve tomatoes by Louise Riotte (207 pages long), Each book contains helpfull hints, & information that isn't in the other ones. For example if one says to plant Beans, & carrots togather, Chanches are pretty good that it you peruse the other book it will not only tell you the same thing but why to do it. Very usefull information for someone like me. I like to know why I am being told to do something, & not just be doing it because a book said it is good to do so. Brendas book has some interesting claims that are not in Louises's book, however If I could only affors to purchases one of the books I would buy CARROTS LOVE TOMATOES by LOUUISE RIOTTE, as if you pay reccomended publisher price found on the back covers, Riotte's book is $00.45 U.S.D. Cheaper, & is a lot bigger book.
