Nasturtiums are a classic example of this, and they are widely used to draw away aphids and other destructive pests. For this reason Nasturtiums are often referred to as sacrificial or Martyr plants, as they suffer in order to protect others.

These will be cover fuller in the examples below this article, where plants that grow well together, will be listed alongside the reasons why this is the case.

It is generally accepted amongst organic growers that planting masses of the same vegetable in long rows or concentrations is a bad idea. This is because by doing so you are attracting the predators of that one species from miles around – a bit like hanging a sign up and saying ‘come and get me!’

Best practice is to intersperse your crops with herbs and/or flowers that protect your crop by disguising the smells and sights that attract the insects.
