Plant Companions
Why are strawberries and tomatoes bad companion plants?
I have been researching alternative ways to eliminate the white flies from my tomatoes. I have found out which companion plants are good! for tomatoes, (basil, marigold, etc) but on all the lists i found it lists strawberries on the bad side among others. Why are strawberries bad for tomatoes?
When i say alternative ways, it means i AM NOT asking about poisons that will kill the flies. I know about soap and water, oil, tabaco and several other sprays that can kill bugs.
My questions is simply about the relation of strawberries and tomatoes.
Two reasons I can think of, I’m sure there is more. 1.They have common enemy pests,Therefore they both attract pests that are destructive to each other.2. the tomato plant roots carry a fungus that is harmful to strawberries
