Companion Gardening

What is companion gardening? It is an opinion, an observation, one farmer's method vs. another. I was quite afraid that I had not been doing things right and after several hours of research I have nothing to worry about. But I can incorporate some of these ideas with my garden planning. I used 3 websites to build this grid. I hope you find it useful. Please check out these sites for additional information.
