Complete Beginner's Guide to Companion Planting
In this video, we provide a background to companion planting where we discuss the history of companion planting, the science of companion planting, the research that proves companion planting works, and examples of good companion plants.
This video is packed with valuable information. In our pursuit to grow more food each season, we have spent a good deal of time researching methods to be more self-sufficient, and we believe that companion planting has the potential to help us out with this.
In this video we discuss aspects of companion planting like: Trap crops, Nurse crops, The Three Sisters, Guild Planting, Polyculture, and so much more.
Some of the research for this video comes from the following sources:

Last year I planted bush beans in between my rows of tomatoes and what I noticed that the Japanese beetles didn’t bother with the beans A win in my book!

@GutenGardening Жыл бұрын

That's great to hear! Companion planting can be a really effective way to deter pests and improve overall plant health. It's always satisfying to find a successful combination like that. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I love the idea of companion planting. I’ve grown the three sisters twice. I’ll do it again this year. One year I used half corn and half sunflower because I read that they are the fourth sister. Food for thought.

@GutenGardening Жыл бұрын

That's a great idea to incorporate sunflowers into the Three Sisters companion planting method! Sunflowers are known to attract pollinators and beneficial insects, and their tall height can provide shade and support for the climbing beans. It's always exciting to experiment and try new things in the garden. Good luck with your planting this year!

Thanks for such great content! Our grandparents who did not have research used information passed down from generation to generation to help them grow successful crops year after year. It's good to know how to use nature to benefit your garden. Thanks again.

Thank you for your kind words! It's true that our ancestors relied on passed-down knowledge to cultivate successful gardens, and it's amazing how much we can still learn from traditional gardening methods. Incorporating natural techniques and practices into our gardens can lead to a more sustainable and fruitful harvest. Happy gardening!

I do some companion planting, and help me attracting beneficial insect, however that not help me with my worst plague, squirrels.

@GutenGardening Жыл бұрын

It's great to hear that companion planting has been helpful in attracting beneficial insects to your garden! Squirrels can certainly be a challenge, but there are some tactics you can try to keep them at bay. You could try placing physical barriers like netting or cages around your plants, or using natural repellents. Additionally, some people have reported success with using marigolds to repel larger pests like rabbits and squirrels. Good luck!

@alizaterrell7607 Жыл бұрын

Marigolds definitely help. That I know after multiple years of use. Not only insects but I firmly believe it helps with small critters, too. Like rabbit and squirrels.

@GutenGardening Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing your experience with marigolds! Companion planting with marigolds can definitely be helpful in deterring insects and other pests, and it's great to hear that it has worked for you over multiple years. It's always good to have multiple strategies for pest control in the garden, and companion planting is a great way to do that.

One that has been really fun for me was growing small cucumbers up my tall sunflower plants.

That sounds like a great idea! Companion planting can be so much fun and it's always exciting to see what combinations work well together. Cucumbers and sunflowers are both great additions to any garden, and it's wonderful to see them thriving together. Keep up the great work in your garden!

I learned last year not to plant corn and tomatoes together. They draw the same pests. My corn suffered. So bad, I pulled and threw away. I plant in pots. Thanks for the research!

@TheSafecrkr1 Жыл бұрын

I've heard a lot about not planting potatoes and tomatoes in close proximity. How far away can I plant my potatoes from my tomatoes in order that I don't have a blight issue?

I always try to companion plant crops. Looking to try and start some flowers from seed but I'm not sure when to start them.

@GutenGardening Жыл бұрын

You can start many flower seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. You can also direct sow some flower seeds into your garden after the last frost. Check the seed packet for specific planting instructions for the flowers you want to grow. Good luck with your companion planting and happy gardening!

@The Cyber Nomad I'm sorry to hear that The Three Sisters method didn't work out for you. It's important to experiment and find what works best for your own garden. Good luck in your future gardening endeavors!

@almostoily7541 Ай бұрын

I'd like to know what didn't work, too. A lot of people don't realize that the three sisters are for storage type crops, not the short season sweet corn, summer squash and green beans. They are meant for flour corn, dried beans and winter squash or pumpkin. You let everything dry and the squash cure then harvest at one time. I didn't realize until several years ago that some corn types just don't grow well in some areas. Just like onions and potatoes, it's important to plant a type that likes the climate you are in. The three sisters wasn't meant for productivity. They had lots of land to grow back then so could spread out the corn mounds. It was meant as a ' set it and forget it ' crop so they could concentrate on other tasks for getting them through the winter.
