Companion planting

Some plants help each other along, and some are best kept apart. Pick a crop to see what to plant nearby and what to avoid, with the reasoning behind each pairing.

🌱 Plant near Tomato

Basil is said to improve tomato vigour and helps mask the scent that draws some pests; both enjoy the same warm, sunny conditions.

✋ Keep apart from Tomato

Heavy-feeding brassicas compete with tomatoes and can check their growth.

Both are solanums that share blight and pests, so growing them together raises disease pressure.
