well, it isn't mine yet, but will be soon.
When I get back to the UK I will be the proud owner of a small garden. Ideally I'd like to use half for veg, and half for ..sunbathing.
But, are there any veggies I cannot grow together due to the kind of soil they need?
I was thinking of some root veg, plus salad stuff too.

There are veggies you cannot grow together due to the fact that they release chemicals that the other doesn't like... I can't do it now but in the morning I'll try and remember to post which veggies are NOT good companions...

What kind of soil is it ?

Thanks Shewolf!
1Vegan, I really have no clue at all at present... All I do know is that the soil quality is apparently not that great, so I know I'm going to have to do quite a bit of work.
I'd be interested to see what will grow together first so, so I can plan what to do when I get my hands on it!

Basically the disliked plant if grown in proximity can reduce the yield of the other plant. (From the Australian Organic Gardening Handbook). There is also a list of good companion plants.

I would recommend buying a good herb and veg book and noting what plants are good with what, and what plant needs what type of soil and sun and water...

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this! :)

I didn't realize so many plants hated each others guts!!!! :eek:
