Lower-confidence herb guild pairing: low living mulches protect soil around taller perennial herbs when kept from crowding crowns.
Strong aromatics like basil, garlic, and marigold mask the olfactory cues that pests use to find their target crop.
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 Neem, Urtica platyphylla, Germander Speedwell. 48 more pairings are catalogued above with their mechanisms.
Aromatic companions deter many pests through scent masking and alarm pheromones. Effect varies by pest species and density — most effective as part of a polyculture, not a one-plant solution.
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.
