Organic companion plants
No more spraying : Use what nature already provides, for free, to control pests and create a natural ecosystem in your garden
Most of the current principles were present many centuries ago in cottage gardens in England and home gardens in Asia. Companion planting is planting of different crops in proximity to assist nutrient uptake and increase pest control.
Companion plants attract beneficial insects (bees, beetles, lacewings, dragonflies, hoverflies, braconid wasps) which eat our garden pests - you can buy your Oakdale Organics companion plant seedlings from most garden centers in the North Island
