Anybody using companion planting?

Thank you. I am joyfully carrying on. :smile:

I have been an avid gardener for years and I plant mammoth dill by my tomato plants and have absolutely zero tomatoe worms. I think this will work for cannabis but have honestly never tried it.
Does anyone else use any type of companion planting for pest control? I’m just curious because I know it saves my tomato crop every year

I like to plant red kale around my plants.Its far more sweeter than cannabis and the aphids will attack it for that sugar content and leave the cannabis alone for the most part.

I think I can do that next year. I don’t like kale but my granddaughters bearded dragon loves it so I’ll also have a use for it. Thanks @CapnCannabis

Might want to try marigolds also.

Garlic and onions do a lot in the garden, any allium being honest. Petunias, chrysanthemums and nasturtiums are supposed to help with pest control as well. Personally I use basil and lemongrass in the garden all year.

I do plant them randomly in the garden. I think next year, on my yard plants, which I do 100% organic I am going to put several different companion plants around my weed. I’ve grown 39 years but never tried it on cannabis as a form of pest control.

Red kale, the red shirts of the plant world.

Native plants work great for attracting beneficial insects. Plants that have the same umbrella shaped flowers like dill work wonderfully. Native mints, yarrow, and dill work great at attracting predatory and parasaitoid wasps for my area.

I really can’t believe I’ve never grown it. You guys have convinced me it will be bud tending next year

And tobacco, the ultimate decoy crop

Good subject, I’ll follow it

Since I do companioning all my plants go better, not only cannabis plants

I mix all the plants in my garden and since I do it, fruits are big, healthy, and all plants and trees produce at least 20% more, easy…

And no problems, no disease, no nothing

I can’t say what plant is better. I bought the most possible because I thought each plant will be good for one different thing
