## Description

Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening [Louise Riotte] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening

Review: a classic for every gardener's shelf - How have I gone so long without such a must-have, classic book? This rare treasure among a sea of gardening guides? Written originally in 1975 and updated in 1998, Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening, published by the well-respected Storey Publishing, should be the bible which we all refer to when deciding where to thoughtfully place each plant in our garden. Who knew that beans and onions would hinder the growth of one another? And how did Louise Riotte know that planting celery near cauliflower would deter the white cabbage butterfly? There are no flashy photographs in this book nor dreamy prose. Yet there is such a wealth of information here dispersed among simple and informative drawings. If only I had known last year that dill may affect carrot growth in a negative way, I may have ended up with carrots that weren't the size of cocktail weenies. It truly does matter which veggies end up being neighbors. If you don't plant the right guys next to each other, you'll end up with HBO-worthy fighting over nutrients that will prevent one or both of them from flourishing. Here are just a few great tips I learned from my new favorite book: * basil helps keep tomatoes healthy from disease while improving growth and flavor * beets and kohlrabi grow well together because they take soil nourishment at different levels * broccoli is hindered by tomatoes Pick this book up and you'll see how many great tips you can find to ensure your crop this year is the best it can be.
Review: And I do too! - initial reaction and informal commentary: Since removing our back lawn and putting in a garden, I wanted to make the best use of space and one of the ways I thought to do that was by companion planting and so I have been on the lookout for both books and websites which might share such information. I came across this little gem while quite well known as an organic gardener and has written some 12 books about gardening. One thing I particularly loved was all the folk lore which she shared about plants. I also appreciated the homespun wisdom which she imparted. She tells the reader not to consider weeds all bad as they are working the dirt by putting their roots through the earth and helping to break it up and keep it aerated for the gardener. The layout of the book is somewhat encyclopedic with chapters on garden vegetables, herbs, weeds, fruit trees, nut trees, garden pests and garden types. In the chapter on vegetables she details what plants work well together as well as which to avoid and gardening techniques for each. I found this book to be helpful and I'm using the information this year in planning my garden and will use it as a reference book in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Indispensable
*by E***B on July 30, 2014*

This book is indispensable. I am a second year vegetable gardener. I do square foot gardening on a 4 X 8 bed in a community garden. I followed Louise's recs for companion gardening. Everything is growing very well. I have had no insect infestations. A woman who has the bed next to mine has a terrible insect infestation with her tomatoes. This hasn't affected my tomatoes. There's a lot of wisdom and practical knowledge in this book. It's also enjoyable to read. I borrowed it from the library and enjoyed it so much, I bought a hard copy to keep.
