Chrysanthemums

Some of the substances contained in these plants are quite toxic to numerous insects, especially root nematodes and Japanese beetles.

Dahlias

Not only do dahlias have beautiful flowers, they continue to produce these striking flowers year after year, growing from their tubers underground. The additional benefit is that they repel nematodes.

Geraniums

Another very attractive plant that produces pretty flowers, this plant is quite effective in repelling beet leafhoppers, cabbageworms and Japanese beetles. Not just a pretty face!

Chives

You have already heard this small plant mentioned several times earlier and not without reason. With its pretty little flowers and thin leaves looking like grass, it will look good in any kind of garden and help to keep away all types of harmful pests like aphids. Plant them close to tomatoes, carrots and cruciferous vegetables, but stay away from peas and beans.

Dill

This herb is cherished not only for the subtle taste it lends to many dishes, but organic gardeners often utilize it to prevent pests from populating their cabbage and squash gardens. The large flowers are an attraction for predatory wasps as well as other insects that keep these pests from infiltrating. Dill attracts tomato hornworm, though, so be sure not to plant it anywhere near your peppers, potatoes or tomatoes.

Garlic

The Allium family includes onions, chives and leeks, but garlic is its most pungent member. They all do excellent work in repelling harmful insects and keeping them at bay. The sweet nectar in their flowers will attract bees as well as other pollinators.

Sage

Never plant cabbages or carrots without their protecting companion, sage. This herb is the archenemy of cabbage moths and carrot flies. It will benefit tomatoes too.

Basil

Who does not love the wonderful fragrance of a crushed basil leaf? Well, this is exactly why they repel mosquitoes, flies, and other harmful insects. They also add flavor to tomatoes and peppers.

Rosemary

There are no negative aspects to this plant at all; to the contrary, stunning rosemary is not only a must in every herb garden, it keeps almost all kinds of invasive insects at bay and its wonderful smell and flowers attract bees and pollinators.

Research is Important

Start your companion raised garden by deciding on which vegetables you want to grow. Then continue to do proper research to determine the plants that will flourish in your climate zone. Next, plan the layout of your garden. Before you start planting, determine which companion plants will benefit your selected vegetable plants. Lastly, make sure to utilize your available space to its maximum.

Companion gardening work wonderfully in the small spaces of raised beds or planters. Using this technique as well as thorough planning before you begin the raise bed vegetable garden will almost guarantee you a continual supply of nutritious vegetable year-round.
