Carrot and basil
Although carrot and basil are not usually cooked together, they are great partners in the plant garden.
“The aromatic scent of Bosiljak helps distract pests that can be common in ciranguassia coals,” says Luke Hammond. “In addition, carrots can help lay off the soil structure.”
Hammond warns against planting carrots too close to Bosil. Secure the distance from 8 to 12-inch around the Basil Bazille plants, he says. It helps protect the root structure of basil when it is time for bright bright.
Lettuce and ment
Lettuce is a wonderful addition to the spring and summer herbal garden. Crisp, cool green salad forms the basis of salads and other dishes. Unfortunately, it is also on the menus of many types of pests, such as snails.
The release of puges in your garden is a multiple extended project. You can kill existing snails with salt spraying or dehydrate them by diatheme land (de). But it is best to avoid pugse in the first place. An easy way to plant a mettle.
Servants and some other pests tend to avoid strong odors emitted by the matte plant. Studies show that the mint plants will not solve your problem with the preacher tendencies that it is more efficient in the essential form of oil.
However, along with other methods, the planting mint can help deter the snail to treat the garden of salad such as buffet.
Coreopsis and Veronica
The combination of the plant that Laura Janney recommends and use often choreopsis and Veronica Speedwell.
“Coreopsis brings a cheerful, soft, airy texture, while Veronica adds height and those pointed flowers I’m inclined,” Janney says.
It is a nice contrast: round and soft choreopsis paired with upright and structured Veronica. They bloom at the same time and look balanced together in a raised bed or a bowl.
Oregano and basil
Oregano and basil used together for many types of tomato-based sauce, pesto and marinade. So it is natural to grow these plants together. They are in many ways perfect companions, says Hammond.
“Origano thrives in a similar environment as a basil and can provide a good soil cover to help keep moisture in the soil,” says Hammond.
Basil can also increase the strength of the Essential Oils oregano, increasing its taste. If you are harding to kill plants, you will like oregano: it is very difficult and requires a little maintenance.
Hammond notes that it was rugged in the mint family, so it is inclined to expand quickly. Also, oregano can be poisonous to pets.
Agastache and Coneflower
Agastache is a floral plant related to the catmint that develops great colors, ranging from deep purple to bright pink.
ConeFlower is simple, original perennial wild bread that comes in a huge number of varieties. Both of the plants that spar it perfectly, says Jankey.
“Agastache and Coneflower are two my favorite to pair because they progress in the heat,” she says.
He adds that both plants attract pollinators and provide a large mixture and color mix: “ConeFlowers bring structure and brave blooms, while Agastache adds height and smell.”
Yarrow and bee balm
“I love mixing textures,” Janney says.
So, everything that combines structured, pointed elements with something soft and miriferous I always feel like a victory, she says.
“You can pair yarrow with just everything,” Janney says. “I like what looks like with something brave like a bee balm.”
Yarrow has a lace texture and a feather shape. Yarrow can grow up to 3 meters high, with roughly umbrellas. In sharp contrast, bee balm is pointed, colorful and striking plant.
