Companion planting is a clever way to boost your balcony garden's health and yield by pairing plants that help each other thrive.
1. What is Companion Planting?
Companion planting means growing certain plants together because they benefit each other, like repelling pests or improving growth. It's great for small spaces like balconies.
2. Best Companion Planting Pairs for Balconies
Some classic pairs include basil with tomatoes, marigolds with peppers, and lettuce with radishes. These combos improve flavor, deter bugs, and save space.
3. Tips for Success
Rotate companion plants each season to prevent soil depletion and diseases. Use quality soil and keep an eye on watering to ensure both plants thrive.
