avoid

🌿 Avoid pairing these plants to prevent stunted growth, pest issues, or competition for nutrients.

• Corn and tomatoes attract the same pests, like corn earworms.

• Peppers and cabbage can slow each other’s growth due to incompatible soil needs.

• Sage inhibits cucumber development.

• Potatoes and zucchini both demand heavy nutrients and space—leading to overcrowding.

• Carrots and parsnips compete underground, reducing yields.

• Beans release compounds that can harm onions.

• Fennel disrupts eggplant root development.
