    Unique, Beautiful and Easy to Understand
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2022*

This book is fantastic! The colors, pictures and layout of the book all work together to make an interesting but easy to follow guide. The information provided is logical and explained simply with room for your own experiences and ideas to take place. This isn’t an end all be all rulebook but a fun guide.Lovely writing style and I am enjoying it immensely.

    Garden companions in a broader sense
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2007*

This is a personal favorite - this book is not just about what to grow next to what, it's about a comprehensive gardening strategy that develops a strong, healthy ecosystem in and around your garden.  The "garden companions" are not only plants, but animals (in the form of bugs - good and bad, house pets, her horse, birds and other wildlife) and materials (such as compost, mulch, cold frames, fertilizers, hoses, etc).The author groups plants into neighborhoods - the tomato, the potato, the cabbage, the squash, the roots and greens, and the perennial crop neighborhoods.  Within these neighborhoods, she lists Family members (for instance, the tomato neighborhood includes tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and greens), Friends (in this case, basil, cleome, cosmos, parsley, Queen-Anne's lace and any tall Aster family flower), recommended mulch/groundcover, rotation schedule and notes.  There are solid sections on bug identification (pests and beneficials) and detailed crop information, including trouble shooting suggestions.I did run into a few problems when trying to implement her suggestions in my own garden.  First, her diagrams had no place specifically for melons or cucumbers.  Not a big deal, I'd put them with the other vine crops, but they take up a lot of room and I grow a lot of them, so this has a big impact on my personal crop rotation schedule.  When I was try to grow certain flowers for companion plants, I had difficulty finding dwarf varieties, and in some cases my companions outgrew my main crop and had to be trimmed back.  I tried planting my corn and squash together (part of the Three Sisters planting), but the squash got ahead of the corn and overcrowded it.  I can only imagine what would have happened if I had included beans.  The instructions could be clearer as far as timing the crops.  I also didn't like grouping my greens and roots, as I like to load up the greens area with plenty of manure, some of which is not as composted as it could be.  When the beds filled up with plants, at times it was difficult to access what needed to be harvested because there was so much growing around it.The book is written in a friendly, conversational style, with attractive photo spreads of the author's garden that make you want to get and out and work in the dirt.  I like the attention to organic methods and soil building, and the insect information (identification, attracting beneficials, warding off pests) is some of the best I've seen.

    ESSENTIAL, especially for small gardens
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2021*

We don't really have a backyard, and most of our yard space is heavily shaded. There are only a few places with enough light/in the right location to grow veggies, so we have several small beds that we have to plan carefully. I LOVE how this book works and thinks - it really tells you how to get the most bang for your buck with limited growing space. By planting things that "like" each other near each other, and keeping plants that DON'T like each other farther apart, we can maximize how much we can effectively grow, even in a small space. This book has also been great for reinforcing to my city-born-and-bred husband (who, unlike me, did NOT grow up with parents who grew veggies to feed us all year) that you simply cannot plant the same things in the same place, year after year after year, and expect a bountiful harvest from healthy plants.  This is how he used to garden (til I took it over and started crop rotation/companion planting), and needless to say, we no longer have plants dying early in the growing season every year because they are in soil the previous 3 years of that type of plant had already depleted. :)
