I thought companion gardening would make things easier. Instead, I learned that planting too close, trusting charts too much, and ignoring soil and timing caused more problems than wrong plant choices. This post shares the mistakes I made—and what finally helped.
Why some plants grow better together in companion gardening is less about competition and more about root depth, scent, and timing. By observing these quiet relationships, gardeners can choose companions more thoughtfully and with less effort.
