Sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus) grown as a companion plant for runner beans to attract pollinators.
Complimentary planting is an organic method to grow certain plants together so that it aids pollination, prevents disease, keeps pest numbers down and hence increases yields. Some plants have anti bacterial or anti fungal properties or are so strong smelling that they confuse pests.
