Garden Girls Podcast

Does companion planting actually work — or have we been following folklore dressed up as gardening advice?In this episode, we go deep on one of the most confusing topics in the gardening world. We debunk four of the biggest companion planting myths (including the beloved basil-and-tomatoes "flavor enhancer" claim), explain what scientists actually call this practice (hint: not companion planting), and tell you what the research genuinely supports.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLSRenee's Garden Seeds: https://sh2543.ositracker.com/398693/9151*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
