Attracting Beneficial Insects with Companion Planting
Companion planting is a natural and effective method to control pests in the garden by attracting beneficial insects. It involves growing different plants together that benefit each other. By selecting the right plant combinations, a healthy garden ecosystem can be created that attracts and supports beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and hoverflies, which help with pollination and pest control. Proper research and planning are necessary to ensure successful companion planting, and techniques like crop rotation and soil preparation should be considered. Companion planting promotes biodiversity and reduces the need for harmful pesticides.
