Abstract
The first tips for companion planting would be to avoid planting long rows of only one kind of vegetable. This is asking for pests to visit and wreak havoc on your crop. Instead, mix in flowers and herbs between the rows to confuse the pests on where your vegetables are. Certain types of these flowers and herbs also will serve as a beneficial attraction to good insects that can pollinate your vegetables and improve their health.
