DO TOMATOES REALLY LOVE CARROTS?
A NEW LOOK AT COMPANION PLANTING
Tomatoes love carrots. Sounds like a grade-school romance. Tomatoes
and carrots, Marigolds and salad greens. Plant pairing has been around for
a long time. Its history is filled with folklore passed from one generation to
the next. Only recently has it been backed with scientific research. So keep
reading for companion planting that really works and how!
Why practice companion planting?
As we become more aware of the importance of attracting pollinators to
our yards, it makes sense to take the next step of creating a yard full of
biodiversity - including in the vegetable garden. More diversity of plant
species leads to a greater diversity of insects. Those insects feed on other
insects that are wreaking havoc in our gardens. When this ecosystem is in
balance, we gardeners can step back and let nature do its thing. We’ll have
healthier plants, and use fewer pesticides.
Debunking a myth
Let’s begin with the marigold myth. A common practice is to plant
marigolds around the vegetable garden to repel pests and rabbits.
Research has shown that marigold’s strong odor does mask the smell of
certain host plants and does keep insects at bay, but to a very specific
pest. Planting marigolds with members of the onion family will deter onion
root maggot flies. Marigolds are also effective when planted with broccoli
and other brassicas to deter cabbage root maggot flies. And, by the way,
marigolds do not repel rabbits. I’ve seen rabbits munching away on them.
Science-proven examples
Tomatoes actually love radishes. Young tomato seedlings can be 30 Market Vendors, Live Entertainment,
susceptible to flea beetles, but the beetles prefer radish leaves, so Prepared Food & Beverages
interplanting radishes with tomatoes is an effective trap-crop technique.
Tomatoes also love basil. When tall varieties of basil are planted around www.burlingtonwifarmersmarket.com
www.burlingtonwifarmersmarket.com
tomatoes, research has shown that it reduces the number of eggs laid by
the five-spotted hawk moth that mature into tomato hornworms. Here are Facebook symbol
more examples:
• Partner dill with cole crops to reduce egg-laying of the cabbage worm.
• Interplant lettuce with Sweet Alyssum to enhance the biological control
of aphids that attack lettuce crops. Sweet Alyssum attracts parasitic wasps
that prey on aphids.
• Interplant nasturtiums with zucchini and other squash varieties to deter
squash bugs.
Create a haven for beneficial insects
Most good bugs need more than protein sourced from their prey to survive.
They also need pollen and sugary nectar to reproduce. Let’s go back
to the tomato hornworm. It has a natural predator - the larvae form of a
parasitic wasp. The adult parasitic wasp lays its eggs under the skin of the
hornworm. When the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the hornworm, eating
their way out. The adult form - the parasitic wasp - requires sugars found in
flower nectar. This is also true of ladybugs and lacewings and many more
beneficial insects. We can create an environment for these beneficials in
two ways: by planting specific nectar plants for specific beneficials, and
by including a large diversity of flowers to attract and sustain a broad
spectrum of beneficials.
As you plant your vegetable garden this spring, consider using a few of
these simple techniques to grow healthier plants in a natural way. Get
yourself a good book to learn more about it. I recommend Plant Partners by
Jessica Walliser. Happy gardening!
