I feel a need to learn more about companion planting. I browsed permies book review grid here https://permies.com/w/book-reviews and I found one book about companion planting, Companion Plants and how to use them by Helen Philbrick & Richard B. Gregg found here: https://permies.com/wiki/53331/Companion-Plants-Helen-Philbrick-Richard.

Has anyone read other books on the subject that they recommend, and if so, what did you like about the book?

Companion plants are very different in Nth/Sth hemispheres and many combinations are even more local.

Gertrud Francke - Companion Planting has some good combinations, a good alternative (cover-crop gardening) and comes highly recommended by Geoff Lawton.

Examine your lifestyle, multiply it by 7.7 billion other ego-monkeys with similar desires and query whether that global impact is conscionable.

You ought to ventilate your mind and let the cobwebs out of it. Use this cup to catch the tiny ads:
