It <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">occurs naturally in forests and other ecosystems, and it\u2019s wise to try to mimic the wild when striving for ecological sustainability. Unsurprisingly, Indigenous communities knew about companion planting long before the Western world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Origins of Companion Planting<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Purdue University College of Agriculture <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/news\/2023\/06\/student-farm-naecc-three-sisters.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">explains<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA Three Sisters garden refers to the planting of main agricultural crops used by indigenous peoples of North America: maize, pole beans, and squash (gourd, pumpkin). In a technique known as companion planting or interplanting, the maize and beans are often planted together in mounds or small hills and the squash is typically planted between these mounds. The cornstalk serves as a trellis for the climbing beans, the beans provide nitrogen and help to stabilize the corn stalks where the large leaves of the squash plants provide shade, helping to keep the soil moist and making it less opportune for weeds to grow.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thoughtful companion gardening can make all the difference in the success of what you\u2019re growing, and the Three Sisters are the perfect example. There are cultural stories passed down for generations about the Three Sisters&#8211;it\u2019s more than just an agricultural trick!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Popular Companion Plants<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Beans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beans <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC10184335\/#:~:text=Legumes%20fix%20atmospheric%20N%20by,systems%20%5B3%E2%80%935%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fix nitrogen in the soil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Nitrogen is a key nutrient for the soil when you\u2019re growing cannabis. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.missouri.edu\/publications\/wq259\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of Missouri<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, nitrogen aids plants in uptaking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/growing-cannabis\/nutrient-issues-homegrown\/\">nutrients from the soil<\/a> more effectively to provide energy to the plants&#8211;leading to better buds and happier cannabis plants!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Garlic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6138159\/#:~:text=Garlic%20bulb%20extract%20contains%20potential,compounds%20against%20ticks%20are%20recommended\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2016 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that garlic repels pests&#8211;which is interesting, considering a lot of folklore considers garlic to repel evil spirits. Garlic bulbs and stalks don\u2019t take up much space, so it\u2019s easy to plant garlic between your cannabis. If you\u2019re trying to run an operation as sustainably and healthily as possible, natural pest-repelling plants are the perfect way to avoid using pesticides.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Local Wildflowers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, is by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34067935\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">planting local wildflowers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The pollinators and wildflowers evolved symbiotically, meaning they evolved to help each other out. The flowers provide food for the pollinators, and the pollinators pollinate the flowers in return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to attract pollinators is to use the flowers they\u2019ve known for millennia. It will also be creating a home for local pollinators to get food, which is often sparse because of the increasing lack of native species.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sunflowers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may want some extra privacy when you\u2019re growing cannabis, and sunflowers provide tall protection to your growing. They also promote aeration, and pests often go after sunflowers before they go after cannabis. One note is to make sure the sunflowers aren\u2019t creating too much shade for the cannabis, so plant smartly!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis cultivation as it stands today is, unfortunately, not the most ecologically friendly. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jcannabisresearch.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s42238-021-00090-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a 2021 review published in the Journal of Cannabis Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a lot of cannabis is grown in areas with small watersheds, where even minimal water use can make a huge difference&#8211;and cannabis cultivation requires a lot of water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s up to cannabis farmers and growers to make their crops as sustainable as possible. Mama Earth gave us this incredible medicinal plant, so we ought to try to thank her by practicing eco-friendly growing!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Companion planting is an ancient practice that has stood the test of time.
