I’m interested in permaculture and a beginner at gardening. What vegetables to plant together that protect each other against pests and diseases? Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the club of gardeners! 🙂

What are you planting or planning to plant?

What I’m interested in is flowers to plant with fruits and vegetables that helps fight diseases or at least promote growth. I started with lupine in between strawberries but lost it to slugs and snails. Starting all over again this year. Goodluck to me!  😎

Hey! I suggest you look into Integrated Pest Management. This complex of actions is oriented at preventing the growth of insect and rodents population in your house.

This is a good tip! I am going to send it to my cousin who is also a newish gardener.. he is always looking for ways to look these things up online rather than asking melol!

I’m no gardening expert, but I’ve heard that planting certain vegetables together can help protect against pests and diseases. It’s called companion planting.

For example, planting marigolds with tomatoes can deter aphids. Also, consider looking into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques for natural pest control. By the way, sorry for reviving an old thread, but I’m on the hunt for similar info. I’m new here and excited to learn from fellow gardening enthusiasts.
