Lower-confidence herb guild pairing: overlapping bloom windows increase beneficial-insect habitat in medicinal herb beds.
Lower-confidence herb guild pairing: low living mulches protect soil around taller perennial herbs when kept from crowding crowns.
Flowering herbs draw bees, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps — improving fruit set and biological pest control.
A low-growing perennial covers bare soil under taller crops, reducing evaporation and weed pressure.
The top companions are Yarrow, Pot marigold, Fagopyrum esculentum. 1 more pairings are catalogued above with their mechanisms.
Some mechanisms are well-documented (legume nitrogen fixation, allelopathy in walnut and fennel, nematode suppression by marigolds). Others are traditional pairings with anecdotal support. We cite both, but mark mechanism strength where available.
