Tip of the Day - 17 May, 2012
The Three Sisters
Native American Indians came up with a fantastic, symbiotic way of growing sweetcorn, climbing beans and squashes together - the beans use the sweetcorn plants as a climbing frame but in return offer nitrogen in the soil to the beans. The squashes grow along the ground and suppress weeds for the other two. The name for this? The Three Sisters!!
