Tomato and Asparagus Synergy

Here's some amazing synergy!

Gardeners know that when tomatoes and asparagus are planted together, they have a beneficial effect on one another.

• Asparagus roots exude a chemical that kills many of the nematodes that either feed of tomato roots or carry diseases to the plant.

• Tomatoes repel the asparagus beetle.

Both plants do better when planted together!

What other examples can you think of?

Great idea!
My first thought is to remember the sage who said, "Do not confuse correlation with causality - ever".

My first related synergy example hasn't arrived yet! Aut tace aut loquere meliora silencio.

Native Americans used to plant bean & squash around individual corn stalks. I don't recall the reasons why they worked well together.

This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

@Suzanne >>
Corn provides a natural pole for bean vines to climb. Beans fix nitrogen on their roots, improving the overall fertility of the plot by providing nitrogen to the following years’ corn. Bean vines also help stabilize the corn plants, making them less vulnerable to blowing over in the wind. Shallow-rooted squash vines become a living mulch, shading emerging weeds and preventing soil moisture from evaporating, thereby improving the overall crops’ chances of survival in dry years. Spiny squash plants also help discourage predators from approaching the corn and beans. The large amount of crop residue from this planting combination can be incorporated back into the mound at the end of the season, to build up the organic matter in the soil and improve its structure.
Corn, beans and squash also complement each other nutritionally. Corn provides carbohydrates, the dried beans are rich in protein, balancing the lack of necessary amino acids found in corn. Finally, squash yields both vitamins from the fruit and healthful, delicious oil from the seeds.

The tomato is native to South America. Genetic evidence shows that the progenitors of tomatoes were herbaceous green plants with small green fruit with a center of diversity in the highlands of Peru. One species, Solanum lycopersicum, was transported to Mexico where it was grown and consumed by prehistoric humans. The exact date of domestication is not known. The first domesticated tomato may have been a little yellow fruit, similar in size to Cherry tomatoes,[citation needed] grown by the Aztecs of Central Mexico. Aztec writings mention tomatoes were prepared with peppers, corn and salt[citation needed]. The word tomato comes from the Aztec tomatl.

Tomato plants protect asparagus from asparagus beetles. And in turn, asparagus plants have a chemical that has been shown to kill nematodes, a common cause of root ailments among tomatoes.
