Raspberries and Nasturtiums as bedfellows
My dear old Mum always grew nasturtiums around her raspberry canes and
loganberries. She claimed that nasturtiums provided phosphates which made the raspberries more productive. I've always grown climbing nasturtiums around my fruit trees because of this - and because they brighten up the orchard! I told my neighbour why I did it, expecting to be mocked, but he told me it used to be common practice to grow complimentary plants with fruit trees and bushes. Is he right or is this just an old wives' (mum's) tale? |
