There are a few tips for determining the incompatible garden plants:
1. Check whether your garden plants have same size and have same light requirements.
You need to arrange the plants so the tall plants will not shade out the small plant. For example planting tomatoes next to bush beans is very bad idea since the tomatoes will shade out the beans. You may give enough space so the shorter plants still can get enough sunlight or you may put the shorter plants as a border planting or put them in the their own row on the edge of the garden.
2. Check whether your garden plants have same water and fertilizer requirement.
Plants that need a lot of water will cause problem to other plants that do not like water.
It is a good idea to plant things with similar water and nutritional needs together, unless they are fiercely competitive. You need to provide enough space and give them enough water and fertilizer for both types of plants.
3. Check whether your garden plants are not allelopathic.
Allelopathic is the capability to chemically impede the vital systems of competing plants. Weeds is one example of allelopathic plant but many crop plants have been observed leaving behind allelopathic chemicals.
