Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening

Planted our garden 30x50 using this as our guide! Wonderful and easy to follow with many helpful hints! I’ve bought 2 and gave one as a gift! Excellent book for beginners to advanced gardeners

This book provides some valuable information to help you achieve your most successful garden. The book is full of information to help you grow your own foods and manage pests and improve your soil. A great read for anyone wanting to better their lives by growing their own food.

Wow, what a book. It's amazing. Full of information. Much more than I ever expected. I just order a second copy as a gift to my daughter.

I found this book to be much more than I expected! The author gave me the technical information I was looking for PLUS HISTORICAL information that gave me plenty of reason to add it to my collection of "eclectic books of antique info"

This book has revolutionised my gardening methods. Within a year of buying it 15 years ago, my garden became healthy and productive. Riotte has taught me how to match plants which are able to protect each other from pests and diseases without the use of sprays, chemical or organic. Her methods have built an invisible wall around my garden which keeps pests confined to my neighbors' yards without crossing into mine.Had I never read another gardening book or watched any gardening show, this book alone would have made me a successful organic gardener. I highly recommend it to beginning or advanced organic gardeners alike.

I have Louise Riotte's first book "Roses Love Garlic", and consider this one the better of the two. I have never considered myself an organic gardener, but this book makes it easier to give it a try. Riotte lists many of the more common plants, flowers and herbs in categories, along with many of the pests that find them tasty treats. I have used her book as a guide in planning my garden this year, and so far it has been very successful. The most difficulty I experienced was in setting up my garden and flower beds, trying to remember what plants and herbs would not do well next to each other. Like many other gardeners, I already had perennials within my garden. I had to figure out how to work around, or where to transplant them for maximum benefit. She does give several garden plans (small, herb, handicapped, etc), so they can be used as checkpoints and guides for putting in your own garden. An excellent reference to add to your gardening books.
