COMPANION PLANTING simplified!
In this week's video, we will show you the general rules that are common to all companion planting combinations, so that you can apply them to take the vegetables, herbs, flowers and other plants you grow to make the combinations that work for you, simply by knowing one or two details of each of the plants you grow.
COMPANION PLANTING is basically a simplified version of how BIODIVERSITY works in NATURE! Different plants with their different properties helping each other out! An ECOSYSTEM with a great deal of NATIVE BIODIVERSITY is a BALANCED ecosystem and a HEALTHY one. We strive to imitate how NATURE and BIODIVERSITY work as much as possible so that the food we grow is as HEALTHY and ABUNDANT as can be!
The way we grow our food goes way beyond organic! We grow our food the way nature grows food!
Knowing just a few things about each of your plants will allow you to be able to MAKE YOUR OWN COMPANION PLANTING COMBINATIONS. Some plants grow slowly, others quickly, some stay small, others get really big, some need full sun while others need shade during part of their growth. We will show you the practical ways of combining plants based on their growth patterns, based on the type of plant they are (aromatic, sweet, spicy, etc.), their needs for some shade or full sun, and so on. We will show you how you can TIME your plantings of different combinations of plants to MAXIMIZE their POTENTIAL to help each other out. We will also show you how to care for your PERENNIAL COMPANION plants so they too can help in the best way possible their other companion plants!
It's Mid-June, and we think the garden is looking beautiful! We can't wait to share with you what's growing there! Magali and I worked together on this video so we could get lots of better shots. And we've taken your feedback to heart to work on making our videos as ENJOYABLE, INFORMATIVE and EDUCATIONAL as we can!
