The transition from exclusive breastfeeding to family
foods, referred to as
complementary feeding, typically
covers the period from 6 to 18 - 24 months of age, and is a very vulnerable period.
Companion planting, or grouping
complementary plants together in the garden to benefit each other, can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to provide shade or a wind barrier to other plants, or to
cover the surface of the soil with edible plants to crowd out weeds, or even to help boost the growth, flavor, or yields of
food crops.
