Organic Pest Control: The Power of Companion Planting in Your Garden

In a recent video, gardening enthusiast Andre the Farmer shared his effective strategy for organic pest control, highlighting the benefits of companion planting. Andre explained that he avoids chemical sprays on his crops, instead relying on diverse planting arrangements to naturally deter insects. 'I don't spray anything on any of my crops unless there's a specific problem,' he stated. His method involves planting a variety of vegetables and herbs together, such as cabbage alongside onions and basil. He showcased beds featuring oregano, Chinese lettuce, rosemary, and peppers, noting that mixing these plants makes it challenging for pests to 'hone in on' a single crop. Andre emphasized the importance of growing more varieties in garden beds to reduce pest problems, offering a natural and sustainable approach to gardening.
