Here in the US, Black Walnut Trees are famous for suppression anywhere near their roots and even the fallen leaves. The suppression lasts even after removal in the soil for years.
This was super helpful, thank you! I’m in Sydney and have been enjoying your seasonally-appropriate content :) I have some cabbage in the same bed as a couple of strawberry plants, although not immediately adjacent… the cabbage are just seedlings still, maybe I should relocate them 🤔
I am curious, I have to grow hydroponically (have just started) and wonder how much of this applies to this method of growing. Is the surpression done by the root system (which would not effect me as each group of plants is in its own reservoir) or is there something in the air (as it were) that effects nearby plants?
Yeah chemicals released through roots. Although moisture levels and soil composition are the two biggest factors on how strong the effect can be. So I have no idea if growing in hydroponics would enhance or nullify the effect 🤷
@@CulinaryGarden1 I shall soon find out, I am guessing that the effect will not be as noticable as the only other plants that each root will be heir own kind. I am curious though if there is an opposite to this effect (in soil obviously) where have the root system of two different plants is actually beneficial, more than keeping pests or certain insect away from the plants that is?
I am a hydroponic and soil gardener too: the suppressive effect is reduced from the roots. If you have a separate reservoir for each crop as you describe, it will be fine. On the other hand, if you have a shared reservoir recirculating on many crops like me, it will go through the lot regardless of physical proximity ...
U.S. Virginia, Zone 7. I love peas, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, basil and other herbs, beets, and many others. I once planted fennel and now HATE it. I'm constantly working to pull out the volunteers. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER plant Jerusalem artichoke (sun chokes). They are super aggressive and super persistent. I planted a small pot full and they quickly filled a 2x3 meter raised bed. They also sent runners under the bed borders, and I've dug the whole area out three years in a row. I'm crossing my fingers that I've gotten most of it out.
Yeah I couldn't go into too much detail to keep the video engaging. But the level of the effect really depends on how many allelopathic plants, how dense, and depends lots on the soil composition and mositure levels. The allelopathic chemicals do have to physically make their way to the neighbouring plants. So it also depends a lot on your subsoil structure & microsystem
@@CulinaryGarden1Dude you've blown my mind and I'll have to subscribe. One of these days I'd love a garden and the knowledge you have. Please do more geeky unknown stuff like this.
Allelopathic, I think. Many moons ago, I was taught about how many eucalypts are allelopathic. I had no idea about these veggies, though. I once read a companion planting book that encouraged planting garlic amongst your veggies. Thanks for this information. I'm in the process of planting some veggies, so this was a timely video.
@@veronicabrown2328 Ah! I have no idea, as Queen Anne's lace (wild carrot) is grown for its flower! They both attract lacewings to my garden, which take care of aphids for me.
Raspberries are my favorite. Wow I am surprised at how badly my garden has been arranged because of other people planting things where they shouldn't be. My sister put Tomatoes next to my Glass Corn, Acorn squash, Grapes, Raspberries and Butternut squash. I planted Apple mint along the edge of my long garden bed with a 30cm gap between them and everything else in hopes of creating a defensive barrier to pests. I don't know if it was helpful. My sister also planted Jerusalem Sun chokes with Russet potatoes and the Sun chokes seem to have killed the potatoes.
Great video! I have also seen lots of RUclipsrs spotting sunflowers throughout their veg gardens, it’s unfortunate. I just avoid planting them all together. I did not know that about decomposing radishes. Thanks! 🌿🌿🌿😀
I’ve never had that issue with sunflowers, I grow them every year in my cut flower patch in my garden along with plenty of other flowers - cosmos, dahlias, zinnias etc
I’m green with envy. You had a guava. I’m considering getting rid of mine. Healthy when I bought it three years ago, sick ever since! In the hope of perking it up I transplanted it into large pot. Still sick 🤮
@juneshannon8074 the biggest thing I've found with the guava is that whilst young they really don't handle aussie sun. I have mine up against a fence on the eastern side of property, lush soil mix of manures and potash, it permanently has a fruit fly net draped over it during summer and spring. It's only been there a year so not big enough to fruit yet
What about lemon balm? I tried growing currants several times and wild lemon balm grew around them and the currants died. I have often wondered if the lemon balm killed them. Ironically a bathtub of mint consistently kills off lemon balm I plant with it.
This is a really helpful video thank you! Now I know why my bean plants weren't growing much at all - onions were near them. First time growing onions and beans too. Also good to know about radishes and garlic.

I had the best crop of beans and peas ever when I grew them up the sunflowers so not sure about that at all and the pumpkins and zucchini grew right around the sunflowers last year so I give up
Pumpkins are fine to run underneath sunflowers 🌻

Yup. Tomatoes are especially sensitive to black walnut toxins.
Greetings from the US! Thank you for the advice :)

"Intents and purposes," never (and I want to be very clear about this) "intensive purposes."
The garden beds looked like the crops were pretty close together. I’d say there are intensive gardening purposes. Or it was windy. Or who cares.
Intents and purposes is the correct saying! I will die on this hill
People who think it's intensive purposes have never seen it written down

I must have outlier fennel then - surrounded by very hearty healthy veges
I wonder if the veggies adapted

Not surprising for eucalyptus to do that, they literally start forest fires to burn competition. Murderous trees. 😅
In my garden I noticed nothing grows near my sun flowers. Thanks for explaining 😂
Yep. I learned sunflowers when I grew them in a tub with tomatoes
Interesting about dill and carrot, because dill and wild carrot (queen anne's lace) self seed and grow wild next to each other in my backyard.
Does the carrot form good root stock? Because that's usually the main issue

I wish i had a picture for u of my fennel and lettuce bed this year :P everything went mad (chopped it all down for corn already)
I just planted sunflower and mint. Will they fight?
No
Damn. Might have to move my sunflowers 😅
My fennel is right long side my snow peas . Both doing great.
Oh no I planted my new tomato plant next to my garlic, that explains why it looks unwell
You can move it if it’s not too big. Tomatoes are pretty tough👍
Surround it basil instead of garlic
Thanks for both pieces of advice, I'll move the tomato to my basil area
I’ve never had that issue with sunflowers, I grow them every year in my cut flower patch in my garden along with plenty of other flowers - cosmos, dahlias, zinnias etc
Maybe it don't work on aster family plants?
Interesting about the mustard. I can't upload a picture but I have mustard in a bed with borage and a guava. All very happy in a raised bed.

about sunflowers. the seed shells falling onto soil 'poison' the soil and prevent any competition. i only use shelled seeds in my chickadee feeders.

🙂 Good Luck Gardening, Everyone
My garlic grows between silverbeet and beetroot. All three are thriving.
I put eucalyptus and gum tree leaves and branches at the bottom of my garden beds, hoping its not an issue
Sunflowers are grown along with theee sister plots so I guess it don't affect those plants.
Tops about the sunflowers, thsnks.
Parsley and poppies grow by my sunflowers 🌻 ❤
