Interplanting is when farmers choose to plant compatible crops next to each other. Other names for this are “intercropping,” “polyculture,” and “companion planting”. Interplanting can increase crop yields, discourage pests, and prevent mold and mildew problems in some plants.

This guide teaches you how to interplant crops with simple English and clear illustrations. It demonstrates benefits, cautions to consider, and illustrates example combinations. The guide focuses on planting combinations of common vegetables, from best to worst.
