Terms of use

Last updated: November 12, 2026. By using vegbedplanner.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Information, not advice

Veg Bed Planner summarises garden charts, research papers and field trials about growing crops together. How plants do next to each other depends on climate, soil, variety, spacing and season, so a result reported elsewhere may not repeat in your garden. The research layer is classified automatically and can contain mistakes; each finding links to its source so you can check it. Use the site as a starting point and your own judgement for the rest.

Our content and the data behind it

The text, design and code of the site are ours. You may link to any page and quote short passages with a link back to the page. For any other reuse, write to [email protected].

The underlying data comes from others and keeps their licences:

• Garden chart entries come from Wikipedia's List of companion plants, available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence.
• Yield trial results come from Paut et al. (2024), A global dataset of experimental intercropping and agroforestry studies in horticulture, Scientific Data 11:5, data at doi:10.57745/HV33V1, under the Etalab Open Licence 2.0.
• Research papers are found through Europe PMC. Titles, abstracts and papers belong to their authors and publishers; we link to each one.
• Plant photos come from Wikimedia Commons and remain under the licence chosen by each photographer.
