Just getting started with this.... Im thinking possible benefits from coexisting along with pest deterrent properties and harvisting clean grown herbs and vegetables (?)

Im only a month into it and mulling ideas... they say beans fix nitrogen from the air so I am thinking beans next...


Aloe

Mint

Garlic

Welcome to the part of gardening where few people go. I've got several different varieties of softneck garlic that i'm putting into containers as well as mint, dandelion, wood sorrel, and other plants growing together with my ganja.

You can go ahead and try nitrogen fixers, but they are most useful after they have grown and died back. Otherwise having a good diverse plant grouping will keep the rhizosphere active and more resilient towards pest and pathogens.

Way to go.

Yeah I heard that about re tilling the dead bean plants.. pretty neat stuff for sure.
I was thinking of doing a bean/ non bean side by side with identical clones maybe... knowing me I'll never get to it... im thinking ginger plants would be fun too. So far everythings really happy and it helps the winter blues I think

The Royal Horticultural Society might be a good port of call for this - https://www.rhs.org.uk/
Sorry if it's not good for this particular thing but there might be something useful for other stuff

Cool!

I like what you're doing, I plant garlic in some of my pots..

Just a heads up about the mint....its a prolific grower and will choke your cannabis plant, best to plant it in its own pot really although you will find it escaping from there still lol

Peace

I have been trying to research this a lot, but there isn't much about companion planting with MMJ on the internet. So far people think Rosemary (evergreen herb) might raise the terpines. Stinging nettles feed the MMJ so you don't need organic or chem ferts. Chamomile (white daisy like) raises up terpines. The gardening community call it the doctor plant because it helps other plants increase terpines. I just bought a large Rosemary and cloned it the other day so soon it goes into the MMJ container. I will try Chamomile in the next summer outside grow.

Nice!


I started a thread about this awhile ago. I got a bunch of nay-sayers!


I'm using Red & White clover…


Barley, Rye, and Wheat are next!

I hope you don't feel too shot down by the nay-sayers TerpeneDream the living soil bunch enjoyed living mulch & they still practice it as do I

barley & clover are clear choices; barley for it's enzymatic contribution {esp germinating} & clover for it's N-fixing. Plant clover & forget about N amendments per-se. careful, clover hitting it's stride during flower can lead to excessive stretch & long flower time.

best is to get your living mulch going & then transpo in to your container

We do that outside, companion plant with cooking herbs and circle of marigolds around the pots (not in same soil/container).

Glad it's working out for you!
