Companion planting can be the success of your garden and your ability to use no chemicals for pest control.
Once you know where you are going to plant your garden and what light & soil qualities you have the planning can begin.
Put the plants that need the most sun in the sunniest spot and then work around them. Oregon has too short of a summer to ask the sun lovers to be "part-shade".
I usually graph this out on paper. Create the size of your garden area and then draw out what space a FULL grown plant will need. They are deceivingly small when you plant them as babies, don't be lurred into planting them closer together so your garden bed looks more full it will only plague you in the summer.
Use this spreadsheet as a starter (most of this is from Carrots Love Tomatoes)
