Tomatoes need friends! Herbs, flowers and plants will help prevent pests #garden #companionplanting
In this concise garden tutorial, Nicole Johnsey Burke presents a focused companion‑planting plan designed to protect tomato plants from a range of common pests while promoting healthy growth. She enumerates eight specific companion species—lavender, sage, marigolds, parsley, basil, peppers, chives, and squash—explaining the pest‑deterrent or pest‑attracting role each plays (e.g., lavender repels moths and fleas; sage deters cabbage moths and flies; marigolds suppress aphids and nematodes; parsley draws beneficial hoverflies and wasps; basil confuses hornworms; peppers lure insects that eat pests; chives chase spider mites and aphids; squash acts as a sacrificial bait). The video concludes with a call‑to‑action directing viewers to downloadable planting plans linked below the video for detailed layout guidance.
