This year we will be planting 'companions' alongside our crops. We shall have 'Poached Egg Plant' (limnanthes) growing alongside our soft fruit because this plant attracts hover flies which will attack aphids and other nasties.
.
Alyssum will grow alongside potatoes as an attractive mulch.
.
Chervil and dill will grow in amongst the strawberries, parsley and tagetes between the apples to reduce the risk of apple scab, summer savory alongside broad beans to help repel black fly and 'Love Lies Bleeding' (amaranth) in with sweetcorn... apparently it will bring nutrients to the top soil !
