I am always so amazed that we are learning more and more about how nature already knows how to work together. Like learning that if I were to plant marigolds with my veggies, I can defer pests naturally. The smell of the flower is unappealing to the pests and, therefore, keeps them away. I also learned that planting lower-growing plants can help provide ground cover, add moisture to the soil, and deter weed growth. Again, nature knows what it is doing, and we are barely scratching the surface, so I was very happy to be able to check out this book and listen to it. No one wants to spray anything on their vegetation as most of us are growing our own food so that we know where it's coming from and don't have to worry about chemicals. This book does a great job of explaining companion planting and making it easy to begin implementing immediately.

There is so much great information in this audiobook, and its so good, that it’s hard to pick out the’best’ parts - all of it useful and interesting. It even covers climate, helping to work out what the hardiness zones mean for you.

The book covers the parts you might expect like shade-loving and sun-loving plants and how to pair them but its adds so much more useful information like trellising and even adds, at times, the effect on the taste of vegetables.

I really appreciated how the chapters were summarised and consolidated and during the book some of these chapters are referenced back to, making them easy to find.

It is fascinating how plants and flowers work together and how the share their nutrients and chemicals that benefits each other - its mesmerising - and makes a great listen! It also helps understand the section on the nutrients that we can add ourselves - lots I have heard of but it was good to find out why and when I should use them. And I had no idea plants could take in too much sunlight and seek it out ‘too well’.

Great details on how to cope with weeds like ground cover and leaves which is explained so that you can work out what plants might help to limit weed growth (as well as other tools for the soil).
I had never thought about the insects that target the that eat our plants!
There is also great variety of flowering plants provided that can control weeds.

I loved the chapter on how to attract pollinators and the appreciated the description of how and why they work. I had no idea how helpful moths could be!

Full of great information!
