Best Companion Planting Cheat Sheet

Love this easy to use yet comprehensive visual.

(http://afristarfoundation.org/product-category/posters/)
Companion planting is the way to keep pests away from one crop by planting another crop that the pest detests.

Companion planting is also a way to keep the soil healthy. One plant puts a nutrient in the soil that another plant wants to eat. Some plants need very different ph levels in the soil; therefore, they should be planted far away from each other.

This handy visual reference is available for purchase from the Afristar Foundation. What an awesome  resource!
