Hello all

I was just wondering about companion planting and if there is a list somewhere on this board that would be useful to newbies like me?  I'd like to do this next year.  I also have a tunnel and would like to encourage friendly insects into the tunnel to pollinate my flowers.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps we could build up a long list to refer back to! ^_^

Thank you in advance.

In answer to your question about encouraging insects into your ploytunnel:

plant any flowers that have single rather than double flowers, that are good nectar producers and have light rather than dark coloured blooms, or that have their middle a different colour to the petals.

Daisy-like flowers are good. Scabious, lavender and single marigolds (calendula)  are what I used this year 

and leave the doors open during the day of course

Thanks for your responses guys - greatly appreciated! Hopefully, I will have a tunnel full of friendly insects next year!  :happy:

I bought a beautiful companion planting wall chart from the Organic Gardening Catalogue
