🍎 Create a thriving mini-ecosystem under your apple tree with this balanced companion planting guild:

🌿 Borage improves pollination and deters pests with its bright blue blooms.

🌼 Yarrow attracts beneficial insects and enhances soil nutrient uptake.

🧄 Chives keep aphids away while boosting tree resistance to disease.

🍃 Artemisia helps suppress weeds and repels unwanted insects.

🌸 Marigolds control nematodes and brighten the guild with natural pest-fighting power.

🌺 Nasturtiums act as a trap crop for aphids and whiteflies, drawing them away from your tree.

💡 Tip: Mulch well and allow plants to form a living groundcover—this boosts moisture retention and suppresses weeds naturally. #gardening #companionplants #appletrees
