Learning the companion planting tips for cruciferous vegetables; broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower is a great way to becoming an organic vegetable gardener.
Making sure that the vegetables you grow are healthy and pesticide-free.
Companion planting in organic gardening is the planting of different crops in proximity for pest control, pollination, and providing habitat for beneficial creatures without having to use pesticides.
Several insect pests attack cruciferous crops, especially caterpillar pests. Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables belonging to the cabbage family do well when companion planted with garlic, onion, geranium, celery, potatoes, beets as well as dill, sage and rosemary.
