Reddit reviews Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening

I've been hoping to find something like that too and haven't found anything yet. I've been looking at these books in the mean time:

There are also resources at the extension and ag offices. The biggest problem is that different heirloom varieties of the same family (i.e. tomatoes) can have somewhat different needs (different zone / sun needs). That means unless it when down to that level, it would still only be a guide line. Also, check this post out:

They had a good chart on there for companion planting about midway down this page:

For those just getting started, Square Foot Gardening is great, it's a good starting point for getting in the habit of maintaining a garden, for making good use of small spaces, and for learning about gardening.

How to Grow More Vegetables is a fantastic book. It is a great reference book on sustainable gardening, and self-sufficiency gardening. It is used by several programs as a textbook to teach sustinence gardening in third-world countries.

Carrots Love Tomatoes is a great book for learning about companion planting.

I just ordered Gardening When it Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times. I haven't read it yet, so I can't give a review, but it is reviewed very favorably. My understanding is that it presents a more old-fashioned, traditional method of gardening that requires less water, less fertilization, etc.

Good luck, and let us know what you think of any books you try!

I read it in the "Carrots love tomatoes book"

Awesome farm book for $9.84

There are a lot of great online references if you are willing to sit down, do some research, and map things out. As far as books go this one is pretty thorough and this book (I have heard) gives a more basic introduction. I've actually found the wikipedia chart on companion planting to be a really useful quick reference as well.

From your wishlist, this. I read this book years ago and have been trying to remember what the heck it was since then.

From my wishlist: this staple gun. I never realized how much I would need one of these until moving into our home.

Thanks for the contest.
