Came here after watching the other video on companion planting. Much better at providing info as to what the plant do for each other than other sites. Plus we share the same zone with upper Michigan. I hope 4.
Serious question from a gardener and row cropper: HOW do you get alfalfa to work within a carrot bed??? The covering with plastic while sprouting the carrots is genius - I will find some silage plastic and do that this year - but alfalfa is pretty tall stuff, and carrots grow slowly…so, how?? I’ve heard of sage and carrots
i planted buckwheat in my chicken garden and let it all go to seed so I could gather seed. I was hoping it would come back but it didn't. Must be because I am in zone 5b and maybe too cold for it to self seed.
Thank you! Questions about the Marigold 1. I read that Marigolds are Toxic is that true? Is it safe to plant with vegetables 2. Can one use any kind of Marigolds; there's so many varieties to chose from at the Nurseries (gold, yellow, orange, orange w/stripe, etc., etc) I saw your previous video on compainon planting, it was very good! To the point and very informative!
Hey!! I grew up with marigolds in the garden and I feel naked without them: I put them out with tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, pumpkin & winter squash. Any variety nursery marigold. If you have a really green thumb, start your own - seed and soil are less expensive than starts. A neighbor was shocked how much better her veggies grew when she put marigolds with them.
@@maggierainville3321 I forgot to ask... All my vegetables are in individual planters. Can I put a Marigold (or how many per 16") in container. Or should I put Marigolds separately in a small pot and then put either on top of 16" planter or nearby on the ground
1. Legumes and brassicas
2. Comfrey and fruit trees
3. Clover and corn
4. Alfalfa and carrots
5. Marigolds and tomatoes
Right On!! Perfect Summary!

Yeah, buckweat is great, but it does winter kill and has to ve planted every year with the rest of the annuals.
Thank you!
