I look for crops that are mostly annuals and staple foods. Baked new potatoes with sour cream and/or chives. Has anyone experimented with any sort of good companions for these crops? Wheat: again no companion for most cereal fields, but I could imagine peanuts as a companion for grains. Perhaps the sweet potato could be used as a companion, since it does not required much water or fertilization. There is the obvious basil or other herbs, but I look for a more edible companion. Rice: no idea, but it must be a wet tolerating crop, that also does not use much water so that the soil can be still humid for the rice Sunflowers come again to my mind, as well as sesame (basic oil crops).
Sweet potatoes: again, some tall plant, preferably annual is preferred. Beans and other legumes are good companion plants for nitrogen-loving vegetables because they increase nitrogen levels in the soil.
Perhaps sweet peas, but they seem contradictory, because peas grow better in cold weather, while amaranth in warm (most other beans are probably too agressive climbers for the amaranth) Several plants are said to enhance the flavor of the potato tubers, including dead nettle, horseradish, and marigolds, although none of this has been scientifically proven. Could be amaranth, quinoa or sunflowers? Or perhaps toss some type of beans into the potato patch?Īlternatively I though of growing some small climber through the amaranth or quinoa. Some are obvious such as the 3 sisters and interplanting of carrots with onions.īut what I plant with potatoes? Preferebly some edible annual and tall plant that does not compete for nutrients. I am trying to design the crop layout for next year, based in polycultures.
