My group is fascinated with companion planting. Companion planting is the idea that two plants may grow better together, than if they were planted desperately. The is some hard science to the theory, such as the trapping of certain molecules like nitrogen, which better fertilizes some plants. Our group plans to conduct an experiment in relation to companion planting.
Lettuce, which is said to grow well with radishes, will be planted in close proximity to its companion plant.
Another head of lettuce will be isolated from the radishes, but still grown in the same conditions as the former lettuce. Using if not daily, then weekly observations, our group will check for a number of criteria that could determine the effectiveness of companion planting.

Do you have a list of all the plants we are growing and which ones grows best for each other? That might be helpful
I've heard John talk a lot about the whole companion planting thing, and I don't have questions for you, so all I have to say is that it sounds like a good idea and I can't wait to see what happens.
is there a list that I can look at so I can pick a plant that could grow next to something else well? do you have a layout of where you want to plant certain plants in the garden?
