Prep your veggie garden!
Good planning is essential.
Each vegetable has specific requirements,
and you must choose your site carefully to
ensure a bountiful harvest.
Preparing the soil pays great dividends on
the yield, and composting regularly will be
your new best friend!
Companion planting is a wonderful way
to go organic. Rather than introducing
sprays, plant that special flower or herb
next to certain veggies to keep the bugs
away.
A few companion planting tips to get you
started:
• Marigolds for beans, broccoli, carrot,
cauliflower, kohlrabi, tomatoes, and
strawberries
• Dill are friends with beets, broccoli,
cabbage, brussel sprouts, and
coriander
• Lavender are friends with garlic,
cauliflower, and silverbeet
