This is Weed and this is Wack with WOWD gardens. We’re an organic gardening show telling you great solutions that don’t cost any money, right? And today we’d like to talk about companion planting. We’re gonna I find it a complex topic. We’re gonna limit it to the three sister method, which is corn pole beans and winter squash, right? And we’re going to imagine planting a four by four area say a large planter. Right and then we do have corn in the center beans around it and then squash sprawled throughout so the squash Leaves would shade the corn roots the aerial corn roots which helps the corn the beans will put nitrogen in the soil which will make everything grow better absolutely and
The corn will hold up the beans right and I like to put a flower Flowers around the edge edge of this contraption myself an edible flower would be a good one would be in a stir-fry Absolutely, and those seem to reseed themselves and come back on the easy to do a lot of annuals do that, right? Yeah, and as you say edible as well The flower itself is edible
There are charts online that I find rather confusing but in reality most plants get along with each other and like to like to grow Close enough to each other, you know, they don’t all want to be touching Well, the idea with this companion planting is you can plant the put the plants closer together and they will help each other out, right? And so we my I myself have not tried to yet, but I’m gonna try and do it this year weed Said earlier that he
Has not tried it’s done successfully yet, so we’re gonna try it. He’s gonna try this year You all should try it as well. Actually I’ve been reading about this as a kid how native Yeah, use the plant right now. We’re gonna try it. I bet the Smithsonian has an exhibitor if you want it. We should find out.
Okay, folks. Thanks for tuning in until next week. We are Weeding Whack join us next week and we’ll be back.
