  • Companion Planting

    I wondered if anybody had a list of companion plants I can have for reference?
    Many thanks

      I have the book, companion planting by Brenda little.
      I highly recommend it. It's one of the few books I've read cover to cover. And I did it in just two days, so it's very easy reading (as I'm dyslexic).

                There are also some on Amazon for under £20.... I'm at a loss to explain the price difference....

                  Apparently, according to the powers that be ( the other half ) if companies have a continuous listing they get preferential treatment. So if they only have one or two items left they whack the price up ( to silly money). To keep there listing going.

                  Of course this could all be complete and utter poppycock

                    lol, not sure I quite understand that logic and in this case there are still several copies..... sell those and retire? But meantime Small Pumpkin, you could offer yours for the bargain price of £375...

                      But will cost me more than 15 squid if I have to move to Australia, BM, the £500 copy begins to sound cheap!

                            ^^^ Waterston's "currently unavailable" so don't all rush - or is that why they don't have it?

                              Sorry about Water wotsits. My laptop does not always show all of a page either that or I took no notice.
