Tulsi and Tomato There may be a dream combination on the plate, but they also make the best friends in the garden. For the beginning, the smell of basil keeps the hornworm away from tomato plants and tomatoes can offer shade for basil plants while they are leafy.
Master Mali Mary Jane Duford noted that other great fellow plants for Tulsi include Chivs (and other onion family plants) and parsley leaf, both can keep the insects in the Gulf. In terms of similar care needs, Cilantro ticks boxes.
“Cilantro has similar soil and moisture preferences, and the basil can replace the cilantro in the garden when Cilantro bolts as hot in summer,” says Duford.
To avoid plants, Duford stated that tulsi leaves dill and mint planting as they can be competitive producers. The sage is also not a great option because it requires dryness.

Of these two plants, think about adding thymes to keep weeds away and monitor soil moisture. For insect control, Duford states that henna and carrot or cabbage family plants will close insects for each other, such as moths and carrot flies.
There are also some plants to avoid nearby. Tulsi is one because their moisture is not needed, but the mint may be worse.
“Mint spreads aggressively and can compete with the shallow root system of Rosemary,” Dufford says, “fennel can prevent the growth of henna through chemical interactions in the soil.”

Lavender, Rosemary, and SEZ are amazing companions for thyme because they all do the best in the same dry, well dried soil and make their way in their own way, according to the duffard to pollpers.
Another plant to consider is chamomile, which has the ability to promote essential oils in thyme, which is a strong aroma and helps to grow it.
Parsley Broccoli, Kohabi, Brussels also excel in keeping insects away from the choice of sprouts and cabbage. Strawberries will experience the same allowances as the thyme will bring the pollinators together and mask the smell of the fruit.
Try to pass on basil and sealantro, at least as thyme in the same area, as they require too much water in their soil. Mint is also very aggressive for thyme.

Keep annoying pests by attacking your attack Dill plant Applying onion in the area around them. These and other onion family plants create a fragrance that is dislikes mites and aphids, allowing your dill to remain intact.
Dill can also provide the same insect-wasting properties for different types of other plants. Dufford says, Bracicus, such as Kel, Broccoli and Cabbage, can oppose cabbage kites and various other insects when they are placed next to the dill.
When you are considering to clarify the types of plants, you will want to keep tomatoes and fennel away from dill.
“Tomatoes can be stunted by mature dill plants due to root competition and potential negative chemical interaction,” says Duford. “Fennel and dills negatively affect each other’s growth when they are very close together.”

Cilantro works well with parsley and has similar requirements and habits, but it is not only one.
“Carrot grows well with parsley, as they share similar requirements and are not highly competitive with each other,” says Duford.
When it comes to this insect distinguishing properties, chewing on your parsley bends on the chaives and onions to keep aphids and other insects.
Options benefiting the development of parsley include mint, which will shake the duffard notes plant. Latus root is a no-go due to the competition, as the parsley taperot is very long.
