Companion Planting is the art and science of growing groups of vegetables, herbs and flowers, to create a diverse, flourishing vegetable garden that sustains without pesticides and chemicals to control pests. Do it all naturally with Companion Planting. Companion planting gives you an understanding of each plant in the organic garden, including information on which plants can be grown together successfully and which do not thrive with each other. The guide is full of information about plant companions and antagonists, tips and uses for each plant, as well as nutritional and herbal uses as well as information on when to plant. It includes 142 plant species and over a 100 illustrations of plants which include a variety of common food, herb, fruit, flowers and indigenous plants. Companion Planting is designed to guide you on your learning journey about organic gardening and companion planting. It is simply laid-out and easy-to-read and is always there as a quick reference.
Jeannine Davidoff, of Earthworm Productions, and the author of the book, has very kindly offered us four signed copies of the South African Planting and Companion Planting Guide as part of the holiday celebrations. To enter the competition, please comment below. Winners will be selected randomly and we will give away a book a week until 14th December so tell your friends! Books will be posted within South Africa only but enter for a friend. This would make a great Christmas present!

Loving companion planting
just spent the weekend with friends in Lutville with a small natural farm – pigs hens and milking goats – who have just started a little permie garden.we spent all weekend looking up companion planting tips – this book would make a great gift for them!
This would be a wonderful resource for the Container Garden Project in Malawi. The project is run by of Patrick Harry, who Patrick was a student in Ghent (Belgium) and took advice to start container gardening in his home country.
He is teaching and training youngsters in the container gardening technique, thus helping youth to grow fresh food (vegetables and fruits) with a minimum of irrigation water. The main objective of this project is to provide food security and to limit malnutrition, particularly of children.
Please enter me into this comp….I would love to have this book.
Anyone out there got info on managing gardens where there are baboons and outher wild animals?
This book sounds absolutely super. I have tried companion planting with information gathered from the web but what a win to have it all at one’s fingertips. The web is great but I still love my books the most!
Man, this guide looks cool!
I am 3 montths into a new veggie patch in Knysna, this book would be a godsend, love and abundance to y`all, Nat.
My mother loves gardening and planting all kinds of veggies. It would be great to be able to surprise her with this book
i don’t want 2 win … i would rather buy a copy … do u have a kindle version?
I would greatly appreciate having a copy of this book to support the gardening projects which will be a part of a new centre being planned on my grandfather’s land.
This book is perfect for the avid gardeners and the amateur gardeners alike. Jeannine thank you for following your dream and making such a fantastic and useful book available to us.
As we are living in Nigeria, fruit and vegetables are very expensive. I would like to grow my own fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Am a young gardener who has caught the “gardening bug”…..and need all the help I can get. Tks for a great blog
send it to me
At last an easy way to companion plant – I have always followed the rule of ‘if it tastes good together, then grow together’!
Good comment debbiw. My garden seems to have gone up the creek lately, so I really need a shot of inspiration in a book.
Love companion planting and experimenting with what works. Also try spraying with a tea made from chillies & aloe, bagging also works but sometimes the gogos still get the better of you but if you grow a big enough selection of veggies you just have try eating something else for a while!
