Companion Planting with USU Extension

Learn about the practice of planting particular crops next to one another to boost growth, desired yield or to inhibit pests.
You’ve probably heard the term “companion planting.” It’s the practice of planting particular crops next to one another to boost growth, desired yield or to inhibit pests. We met with Katie Wagner, Utah State University Extension professor and master gardener, to get down to the nitty gritty of companion planting. We learned about some fascinating, research-based planting techniques, symbiotic relationships, natural pesticides, “farmscaping” and natural enemy herding.
