Three sisters method.

The corn stalks would provide a trellis for the beans to grow on, and the squash would grow on the ground and provide cover to control the weeds. Sounds intresting. Anyone else heard of it? Anyone tried it? I've heard of it as a nutritionally complete though boring system. You can grow those crops and live on them for years without getting ill. Add a small amount of hunted meat and it's livable. I've never tried planting them together. chuckle Doug, I'm just talking about a way to grow some vegies. Not a diet. I have a grocery store down the road (several actually) that provides most of my food. But gardening is a nice diversion, and I can eat the produce from it. I doubt that I can live off my small garden plot. |
