Hi. I read up about it. Will the plants die if I plant something not compatible. For example. I have just planted some tomatoe next to my broccoli. The broccoli I'll get rid of sometime in November.
Tomatoes and broccoli are thought to have allelopathic qualities which could cause nearby plants to suffer or die. Here is more:

I am searching for a hardy cascading plant to cover north facing rendered brick wall and am considering Juniperus Conferta. The garden bed is approximately 4 meters by 1.1 meter which will also have several Gracilis Slender Weavers bamboo plants. My concern is compatibility of these plants. My desire is to have the Juniper cascade down the wall rather than spread uncontrollably in the garden. Access for maintenance will be difficult once the bamboo is established. Am I expecting too much? Do you have any alternative suggestions? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. t
Dwarf bamboo is actually cited as a good companion for juniper in the article below. Just be sure whatever you choose has the same growing requirements.

I try to pay attention to companion planting, however there is only so much space in a garden. What is an acceptable distance for two vegetables that are not supposed to be planted next to (or near) each other. Specifically, strawberries and Cabbage.
Apparently strawberries can stunt the growth of vegetables in the brassica family because of its aggressive behavior. So, as long as you plant the cabbage far enough that the strawberries do not encroach, you should be OK.
