I was researching some plant things a little while ago when it occured to me that I need a polyculture for my tomatoes!
Here is the list I am going to try and use this year since they are all companion to tomatoes:
- Carrots
- Basil
- Lettuce
- Asparagus
- Borage
- Celery
- Chives, Onions, Leeks, Garlic
- Marigold
- Dill
- Scarlet Runner Bean
- Marjoram & Oregano
- Nasturtium
- Parsley (Both flat and curly)
- Yarrow
- Parsnips
Many of these plants will provide insects for pollination and to take care of enemy insects that would harm the tomatoes. While I may grow them all together, it is also a good idea to have many of these plants simply near by, or at the base of the tomato plant.
