Japanese gardeners typically work with small plots and are experts at making the most efficient use of available garden space.

Eggplant with green beans
Carrots with edamame
Iceberg lettuce with broccoli
Strawberries with garlic
Green beans with arugula
Blueberry bushes with mint

…and dozens of other pairings that yield tasty, nutritious vegetables and fruits, all grown without the need for pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This book also covers excellent combinations for relay planting, such as watermelon followed by spinach, spinach followed by broccoli, broccoli followed by potato, and many more. Clear and precise instructions are given for each combination--from planning and preparing your plot to planting depths and spacing--all accompanied by detailed color drawings and photographs.
