Companion Planting or What NOT To Plant Together

Usually when you see an article about companion planting, it discusses which plants to plant near each other. However, this is a nice twist. Mindi discusses which plants you should NOT plant close together in your garden.

Here’s an example: Plants in the bean family does not normally thrive if planted near vegetables like onions, leeks, garlic and scallions. These veggies inhibit the growth of beans.

Mindi  suggests not planting beans near marigolds too. (I’ve read elsewhere that some marigolds can act as a herbicide to certain bean plants). I’ve found that beans do well when planted with carrots, cabbage, celery,and potatoes.
