Me! I got a flat of marigolds at the start of the season and planted everything else from seed (tons of veg). The marigolds came with spider mites 🎉 so they’re all gone now and I was able to quarantine them from my other things. It’s a battle but I had to tell my story 😂lol

My Grandfather always had the companion plants together and garlic and buckwheat peppered the garden and roses. First thing I did when setting up our garden after buying the house was to get buckwheat to help with the soil in areas we wanted to help. I miss him so much. If only the people who bought their house knew how rich that soil is from the farm my Babci had and then my grandfather’s garden!!!!!!

Horseradish in containers!! I really love em, but they're very hard to get rid of. Every 1-2cm of chopped root can develop into a new plant. Container gardening horseradish also makes it really easy to harvest/store.

I'm in Zone 4, and have been pairing potatoes with horseradish in the garden for four years, and it works quite well. Potato beetles always miss the crops hidden amongst the horseradish, and the two plants get along. A word of caution, though. Horseradish is an incredibly aggressive plant, and will re-establish from even the smallest piece of root. You have to cull it back every harvest when it's in an enclosed bed. Its far more challenging to REMOVE horseradish than it is to grow it. :)

@Whitegems015 Месяц назад

One combination that worked for my garden is planting beans plant with my chilli plant. One of my chilli is now 5 foot tall and loaded with chilies. Beans provide lots of nitrogen to soil which in turn is absorbed by chilies. I only had to put Fertilizer for flowering and fruiting, I never had to add nitrogen for leaves.

I was having a lot of issues with asparagus beetles so after consulting the internet I decided to plant parsley in my little asparagus patch, because apparently asparagus needs a lot of nutrients but parsley doesn't, so they wouldn't compete terribly. After that I kept seeing the beetles but didn't keep seeing the damage from the beetles. So it seems to have worked!

I would be careful with that horseradish, it will take over. Like a hostile takeover lol. I’m growing some in a whiskey barrel here in CA (9b) and now it’s popping up in ground around the barrel. I personally am not mad about it because a Polish gal can’t have too much chrzan & it’s kind of an empty nothing patch over there, but you have a whole garden of Eden there. I’m sure you already knew, but just in case I spoke my peace.

Have you guy's ever done a video on which trellis design is best for whatever edible vining crop? Like mesh size, height & width. Should we use string, metal, plastic, or wood? Because cattle panels are not good for all climbing crops, like peas for example the spacing is too far apart in my experience.
