Related: About this forumA question on compatibility
I have been checking various compatibility lists online as none ore comprehensive, but still have not gotten a clear answer. So I have a few questions
1) are sage and parsley compatible?
2) if a plant is incompatible or "combative" as one list calls it, how far apart should I keep these plants.
Thanks in advance!

(4,482 posts)Haven't found anything so far. In fact, found these two articles about caring for cats and dogs. Both articles recommend vaccination.
Caring for a Cat: Learn About Taking Care of Your Cat's Health Veterinarian Jon Geller takes the case of one feline patient over 15 years to discuss common cat health problems and how to prevent and treat them.

Other articles were on organic gardening and renewable energy. Didn't see any survivalist nonsense.

(35,773 posts)The pseudoscience pushed there is vast and ludicrous. http://www.motherearthnews.com/natural-health/nutrition/strengthen-your-immune-system-zmaz10aszraw.aspx
And they even shine their light on the GOP to help their ugliness. http://now.motherearthnews.com/story/featured/vaccine-skeptics-find-unexpected-allies-/416b767851316e7276544a6f2f4a64425457374f36513d3d
You should know better, and to pretend that such a page offers anything worth the time of day is just a big time mistake. Admit it, and move on.
If you can't admit it, then find us a legitimate source, offering a true consensus of science-based information that promotes the same stuff pushed in the article you first posted. I don't think you'll be able to do it.

(60,465 posts)between plants I am aware of is black walnut roots and tomato plants - the nut roots produce juglone, which inhibits tomato plant growth and kills them.
I plant whatever I want together for whatever looks best, or is most useful.
Lots of the anecdotes around companion planting are about pest attracting - it isn't the plants that battle, but some plants draw pests that attack the other plant even worse.
