When planting your vegetables, its a good idea to know which ones can help, or hinder, their development. Root spacing, leaf spread (and height) for light, and nutrient needs should be taken into consideration when planting them next to each other, to reduce competition in these areas. Also, crop rotation is necessary to prevent the build up of diseases and pests.
