Pear & Chives
Chives offer natural protection against pests, such as aphids, whilst enhancing the soil with added nutrients. This promotes healthier growth and better fruit development. They also attract pollinators, suppress weeds, and work well with other plants.
Strawberries & Spinach
Spinach serves as a natural ground cover, keeping the soil cool, retaining moisture, and suppressing weeds, while strawberries enhance soil fertility in return.
Grapes & Clover
Clover acts as a ground cover that supresses weeds, fixes nitrogen in the soil, and attracts beneficial insects, all of which support grapevines and promote healthy growth.
Tomato & Basil
Basil’s strong aroma repels pests like aphids and hornworms, reducing the need for pesticides. It may also promote healthier tomato growth and enhance their flavour. Basil’s compact size makes efficient use of garden space, while its antifungal properties help prevent diseases like blight and mildew.
