We Indians plant what we call the three sisters we plant sweet corn when it gets about 6 inches to 12 inches tall we plant pole beans between the corn stalks then squash between the rows
Completely neglected to give credit and appreciation to the many indigenous interplanting practices (such as three sisters) in this video. Thanks for the comment!
😊❤😢😢😢😢😢😅😅❤😂😂😂 😢😮😮😢
What Indians? And only a certain types of corn, beans, and squash can be grown w/in a certain region. Else it wont work because of location/climate. Also, do yo know why? The reason behind it?
@@midnull6009 I'm Apache and Cherokee I learned the practice from my Apache Grandma I have seen work
it work with different types of corn and beens but the only squash that I have tried is yellow çrocked
Doctor turned regenerative and organic urban- micro farmer here. Absolutely love your science based approach. Just fantastic. So much misinformation out there spread by "cut and paste" blogs and websites. The humor is a welcome addition, too. Thank you for what you do!
I’m sorry is that a thing and how can I do that for a living? Dead serious.
@@thehermitdruid Well, not sure if it's a thing, but depending on where you live, and how big your lot is, you can make decent money. I don't really do it as primary income, but it supplements my SS. There's lots of info out there on Urban gardening. Even if you don't make a living from it, it really can reduce your grocery bill!
@@seena6163 yeh this is what I do already, by a living I meant I thought there was programs for regenerative urban gardening initiatives, tbh there might be and I just need to look it up. Thanks :)
@@thehermitdruid I'm pretty sure, depending on where you live, that there are. I'm in NYS and there are all kinds of supportive initiatives. Best of luck to you!
@@seena6163 there has to be something like that in Toronto if not I need to find a way to start lol
It's reassuring there are others that mix and match to see what happens. I always say, "I'm just trying to confuse the bugs" 😁
I planted a 1/2 acre native perennial/prairie patch on our property before I planned on farming vegetables. I'm glad I did, not just for the benefit to wild life, but also for the benefit to our vegetables now. We have an insanely robust population of pollinators and birds here as a result of all these native forbs and grasses. Everyone should try to incorporate at least a small patch of native perennials in their yards/gardens. These plants really do wonders. I didn't expect such dramatic results.
All my pre-1989 research on these topics always said, wherever possible, to have a "wild corner" or segment of your garden, (or farm) where whatever was natural or seemed beneficial would grow, and encourage insect and associated wildlife/birdlife as well. Not everyone has that luxury of course, but even in a small suburban garden, one little corner which is left as original would help, I'd think. Perhaps native shrubs or bushes, if trees were out of the question...you've found out from practical experience how much difference that makes. One of my gardens was right next to some rainforest, so I didn't have to do anything, but others I've always left things well alone on one corner (and of course, I never use toxic sprays and artificial fertilizers to mess with the soil life). One place I was living at, I had to import garden worms. After a few years, they'd naturally "escaped" from the beds, and were everywhere. The ground was so hard in that particular garden, I had to do "no dig gardening" and decided it was the best thing ever, and would never dig again.
My daughter was concerned that there were ticks all over the cats bed in our garage. I checked, and it was a hatch of Harlequin bugs. I'm not ready to declare cats are a trap crop for Harlequin beetles yet, though it was strange.
I had a really cool "accident" by planting spinach over cilantro and they are growing together beautifully! It seems like they are happy together because my cilantro is so tall but still healthy and dark green and not bolting... So cool!
Good morning, I just have a little garden with 3 x 6 foot beds and find that planting perrenial herbs like oregano or thyme in the corner of the bed works well as their blooms attract lots of pollinators. And I don't have to replant them each year.
I like this idea I do have oregano on one corner but I planted thyme in the middle.
Oh yeah, thyme is a really good one! I love watching those tiny flowers fill up with bees/flys/insects.
Great tip.
Awesome Janet! Try the perennial bronze fennel if you haven't. Oh my the tiny insects LOVE it and the flowers and seeds are the sweetest thing I have ever tasted! Yellow tiny flowers against the feathery foliage is just beautiful. 🌱👍
@@cpnotill9264 thanks for the tip, always looking to try something new.
I love the Living Soil Handbook
I am new to this. There is so much to learn. Im taking my baby steps.
Heyo just want to shout out the original North American intercropping system, the Three Sisters. Corn (i've also used sunflowers in corn's place), pole beans, and vining squash. I've never used it in a commercial context but in a garden it works so well (probably something to do with its centuries of continious use)
Good morning,
another great video thanks for shearing, have a wonderful week.
I love how informative your videos are
Incredibly helpful info, saved to favorites for future reference!
Love your comments and information ❤
plenty of new fascinating and useful info I learned from you here, thanks very much!
Not a market gardener, but this year I have planted purple sprouting broccoli between my tomato plants and the pigeons seem to have not noticed them. Keep the growing need info coming, with love from the UK.
I also, accidentally, did a double-seeding this year, too! My purple cayenne plants absolutely refused to germinate, despite MULTIPLE sowings, both indoors, and outdoors after I got desperate, under a sawed off soda bottle for that slapdash greenhousing affect. Three or so months of attempts later, I gave up and kinda forgot about them almost immediately because my ADHD is hella bad. Shoved a leek scrap into the ground to regrow it, halfway pausing after I did because I was like "Wait, isn't something supposed to be maybe here?" Couple weeks later and MAGICALLY, there's a purple cayenne seedling sprouting literally RIGHT up against the base of the leek! There's no way I could separate them without hurting the chili plant, and after all that hassle? Yeah, I'm not risking it. So, this is the year we're going to test just how compatible cayenne and leeks are! hahaha.
Dude, you are an amazing plant nerd! Awesome farm! Each video I see if yours is informative. Keep it up! I wish I had more space to grow like you.
Super cool idea of sowing two different seeds in one block! I need to order the book… love your content! 🙌🏽💚
Awesome info, you always give me good ideas for trying new things! And yay for plantomorphism! :D
Thanks for the info on trap crops. I’m having serious issues with spider mites in my medicinal herbs garden year after year. I’m definitely going to do some research now! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Thank you. A lot of information to absorb in the time allotted. I am thinking about some of the same methods you introduced. Good video.
The plants are all very lush and fresh.. I love them. I wish you success and always be healthy...
Jessie, I’m viewing from the San Francisco East Bay Area, I have two little 4x8 raised beds and I love your book and your videos. This one is full of advice that I will use. It amazes me how your farming advice can help a home gardener like me.
Luetine for the eyes is extracted from marigolds. You can eat the flowers. Very nutritious.
Great video! I'm definitely going to experiment with a few of those strategies. Creating biodiversity has worked wonders for my garden. Over the last two years, I've added marigolds, sunflowers, berry patches and sweet peas.
I just started square foot gardening as an experiment and interplanting is another idea for my suburban veggie patch. thank you.
Thank you for the link to the university root images! I have been wondering how to determine root compatibility for a while now, and you've just made it easy for me. You are awesome - keep up the great work!
Lots of great humour in this video!
Thank you for the info!
Thanks for all of your content Jessie (apologies if I misspelled your name). I grew up on a small farm and your content takes me back. I understand just how much I underestimated my fathers knowledge (he was a no tiller organic dude). I didn’t take the time to learn much in the way of growing back then, so I’m playing catch up with you. Team Nerd ❤✌️
This is the first video of yours I have watched. Wow. We have very similar mindsets. ❤
Thanks! No questions. You cleared up confusion and provided ideas.
Great to hear! Thank you
Thanks, as always, for your videos ! So, watching to the end... this super nerd definitely wants to try this at home ! Especially the cilantro or dill with lettuce.
Your videos are much much helpful thanks for the information.. I am following you from Libya.
Bought your book, it is awesome and thanks for the videos
@notillgrowers Thanks for all this, incredibly valuable, and entertaining content. Edutainment at its finest!
All the science talk got a subscription from me. 😊
Great video. Thank you
You always make me smile, and sometimes even laugh ❤
I bought your book while ago and I’m always surprised when you mention the information is also in your book, because I haven’t seen that chapter yet. I just have to recognize that I’d love to be an avid reader, but I don’t have to ability to just do it (adhd.) So, thank you for the video format as well. I am able to watch your video and then when attempting to implement something I look it up in your book. Many thanks!
Love your videos, they are so useful and informative, thank you! 🌱
Thank you for putting out these weekly videos. They are amazing
Thanks!
Interesting and informative video. You've given me several options for my garden this year.
Love the outro.
And yes I did buy your book.
Amazing, Thank you so much for the support!
Good farm design ever. Thanks for your idea and very interesting
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the Southwestern Arkansas total plant nerd!!! 🥰💚🌳🌻
Wow amazing what a nice plant.
👍👍👍🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Companion planting and intercropping are very useful and save time as well as space and cost. If the combination of suitable plant species will bring high yield efficiency. Thanks for sharing
Really excited to see what happens with the double planting!
Ah! I'm doing a dill/lettuce interplant right now... Basically scattered dill seed in between the rows right after transplanting the lettuce. Not sure how the timing will work out but it'll be cool if it works! The lettuce is about 2 weeks away from harvest and dill is about 1-2 inches tall at this point.
Great video!
Hello brother Your vegetable garden is very beautiful👍
Thank you!
Thank you Mark, missing you, glad you have a pet bird!
Never seen your stuff before, but you're hilarious so I'm subscribing 😂😂 I'm sure you're a good gardener too
I just recently noticed that Dill seems to attract Aphids, interesting idea on the double seed block planting!
Love your channel bought your book…Oklahoma gardening is always a challenge. Squash bugs and vine bores are killing me every year!
Interesting and informative video. Above that lot of useful contribution from the learned and enthusiast contributors. My thanks to them as well for sharing the experience and knowledge. For pest repellent / management, outer bed can be make that of lemon grass- I see this pest simply dislike its pungent smell. If still pest ingress, one can use Neem oil or lemon grass oil spray to take them off.
I always love your channel
love your humor
Very interesting!
Another great video Thank You! We are attempting to do some companion planting this year as well as a bit of interplanting. See no reason that both would not be beneficial. A LOT more flowers this year in and around our garden. Should that not be(e) beneficial well the Bees from our hives will love them!
so nice gardening
This is so pretty like the row beds look so unreal man great job
Loved this video-thank you! We "fill in gaps" often on our farm and I always thought a "Real farmer" would never do this so I'm stoked to know that this is actually a practice others find benefit in, especially with carrots! geez that germ rate is a stab in the heart sometimes! We fill in salad mix gaps with lettuce head. After your 2nd sometimes 3rd cut of salad the head is ready. We also let random things seed especially cilantro and dill to encourage beneficials and those 2 are challenging to grow sometimes so rouge dill helps when trying to fill orders. :) thx again! your videos are helping grow so much food!
am a fan of yours and of ur channel, thanks a lot,,, ur follower from somewhere in the algerian desert
Great info
Beautiful everything my dear friend blessings always amen 💯♥️🙏🙏🙏
Saving this to watch later as I was JUST thinking about this when wondering if I should plant asparagus and strawberries together and how best to space them
On the learning curve!
Here in France, my neighbor gardener planted cilantro with his fava beans and had tremendous success. I tried potatoes and peas this year. So far, the potato beetles are attacking my aubergine plants instead ... good thing they're slow and they don't like savon noir (black soap or Castile soap).
Yes, I mix a couple of tablespoons of castile soap, specifically peppermint, in a gallon of water and spray it right on the plants. No harm to plants, but the bugs don't like it.
Aubergine and potatoes are from the same family, that's why they are attaching the aubergine. They are confused
❤ agreed. Cut & ✂️ paste aspect is sharing resource research information to Allow the other person to understand where you found that knowledge from to then check ✔ ✅ that resource to ensure it's correct helpful information or bogus. Just how science has always worked. To show the resources borrowed is what we encourage in college or other schools if I'm not mistaken? When writing a research paper for example? Online to link transparent wise you have copy * paste to credit the original source materials not to imply the article is legitimate or not only hypothesis to consider.
Helps flushing out that incorrect information out there in the process. Grew up on a farm basically so, college has been this planet made more sense than going into debt to learn at an institution that has been very toxic society, from my perspective, enjoy getting paid to learn. ❤
So interesting, Farmer Jesse. Thank you!
we have had Japanese Beetle infestations the last few years. In a very non-study way, we found in one of our little gardens, that those awful beetles LOVED the marshmallow herb and horseradish leaves, but never touched the nearby feverfew, lemon balm, or chives. I don't think I've ever seen those dratted beetles on bronze fennel or dill, either.
I was always told marigolds kept deer away. And learned here resantly to plant basil with tomatoes to keep bad insects away. I'll have to try both and see what happens. It's all so interesting. Love watching your channel. We always learn so much.
I had read that a border of marigolds around the garden would keep *rabbits* away.
Nope.
Planted a border of marigolds as closely spaced as the marigolds would tolerate and the local rabbit/s ate them, then went back to their burrows *in* the garden. (They or it had a secret entrance---I think---into and a toboggan kind of exit away from the garden, running at the welded wire "trellis" enclosing the kitchen garden and then sliding on their bellies to go underneath it and get outside the enclosure.)
But I do sincerely wish you good success with marigolds or anything else strongly scented, if deer are your garden marauder. Out local deer aren't deterred by much of anything and they are both very determined and very clever.
All the best to you!
Subtle shade + disingenuous sarcasm = funny. Not many people can pull it off this well. Makes your videos entertaining as well as educational.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with electric fence surrounding my market garden with thousands and thousands of dollars worth of produce growing in it. I have the added bonus of certain wild hog presence in the immediate surrounding area, including in the same pasture the garden is in.
Great tips! Last year I found success with a band of Buckwheat and Tillage Radishes (though I think the buckwheat was the heavy lifter) that brought in many beneficial insects. Spiders as big as my thumb, their smaller cousins, praying mantis, and lady bugs seemed to eradicate the japanese beetles and grasshoppers that had returned. Interseeding buckwheat and a few others this year between corn rows -- but after corn gets well into V3-V6 (corn doesn't like competition at that window).
Buckwheat has been a super star for me while the tillage radish tends to get hit with aphids, esp if their is extra fertility in the soil.
As a successional agroforester and edible landscaper, Tillage radish and a handful of other plants have been my greatest allies in breaking up deep compaction.
It helped me convert a former rock quarry, dump, and railroad grade into an edible botanical garden with thriving plants thanks to deep aeration.
Looking forward to the results on interplanting directly in soil blocks…
Beautiful
Thank you so much for all the great information, will you be doing an episode on how to maintain the local deer and pest pressure on your farm?
Got my book❤❤❤
Just found you. Ive been putting onions garlic n leeks in n around all my gardens for years ( pap did it so i figured there must be something to it) i also cant stand having open areas as i harvest n just plop something in the spot again been doing it for years now im looking at videos n science to make the harvest bigger. Lol guess pap was onto something 😊 so getting your book!!
Early Spring when I get flea beetles, I have planted radishes and bok choi among my tomatoes as a trap crop. Works every time to keep them off of my tomatoes.I also plant borage to attract aphids, but it's sad to see them get overcome with them, so I am trying to add more umbel flowers to attract ladybugs, etc.
Lime Balm works as well as Borage and is a perennial. Also, you don't feel as bad tearing some out to get rid of aphid clusters.
@@SeeStuDo I've heard of lemon balm, is that what you mean?
@@ljgerken No, Lime Balm. Grows more like a mint.
Lemon balm grows like a mint also
@@bettyperrin4251 It spreads and grows back early, not as aggressive as mint, but similar. My Lemon Balm stays put and is slower to come back in Spring. That’s what I meant.
Informasi yang sangat bermanfaat.Terimakasih Banyak🙏
Thanks!
Thank YOU! 🙌
😆😆 Really enjoyed.
Seed starting 2 different crops at the same time in the same cell....BRILLIANT!!! I'll try that next year. Thanks.
Have you tried it yet? If so with what? I'm about to sow some red Romaine with Cilantro and see how it goes
What are the results I would love to know
Excellent topic and discussion. Thank you from a fellow garden nerd
I had a small backyard vegetable garden, that did not facilitate growing large patches of a single crop.
One strategy I used was when I removed a plant such as a lettuce, bok choy, tomatoe etc (& if there was space and I'd had the forethought to raise succession seedlings), I'd plant something else; generally entirely random with entirely random results. But if you don't try you will never fail; therefore, your learning will be limited.
Part of the "zen and the art of gardening" is learning from "the good, bad and ugly" results. Mistakes and accidents are the cutting edge teachers of critical new learning.
6:10 I really enjoyed this slight tangent
this is a cool episode. i am wondering how to apply this to my hydroponics
I wish I could like each section of this video separately. It needs much more than just the one thumbs up.
Random next video .. but I’m not mad it’s playing actually perfect to what I’m doing / want to do 🧐👌🏾👍🏽
Good companions support you ❤
The deveopment on the farm is so wonderful. Have you started planting mulberry, clumping bamboo. good tree fodder if you have sheep. the clumping bamboo can be sold to landscapes and others. Also feed off to the sheep.
I'm in Year 2 of gardening, and I'm just starting to think about this sort of thing, so perfect timing!
My plan this time around is to put some tomatoes and peppers in with my garlic while that finishes up.
Mostly, though, as you said, I'm just trying to be a successful gardener in a basic way.
This year I mixed a bunch of spare seeds and planted them in a row - spinach, arugula, kale, mizuna, collards, bok choy, carrots, and turnips. Some of them put on very fast spring growth and others start slowly, so I've been able to harvest from that row continuously for almost a month and it's still going strong. Next time I may leave out the kale and collards, in the shade of the faster growing plants the slugs feasted on them and they disappeared, and I may add leaf lettuce, cilantro and radishes, but I'll definitely do this again.
Sounds great. I might add Borage.
video của bạn rất tuyệt vời❤
Thank you very much, this is super interesting. I'm a beginner gardener with just one bed which was previously kept bare (it's full of ants and the soil is quite degraded) so I'm trying to put as much cover as possible and bring back the insects.
I would like to suggest to include the doi of the publications instead of the links, as it would be easier to copy them out for later reading - the links are all cut off in the middle and dois are shorter.
Hello How are you doing today
I planted sweet alyssum between tomatoes this year andgot clouds of tiny syrphid flies of a type I’ve never seen before. Alyssum definitely brought them in.
im gonna try double seeding , great experiment at first sight
