I love the idea of interplanting to protect the soil and having a living mulch: ! Having an understory plant below tomato plants is also a super cool idea! Do you have a list on your website of good interplanting matches? Carrots and beans- deep & climbing? Kale and tomatoes- winter & summer? Or maybe a numbered list video of the plants with shorter life spans so that they can be removed before the corn would need the nutrients in the soil to grow optimally?

This is one of my favorite subjects in vegetable gardening so obviously I enjoyed your video. Last year I had carrots and onions growing under tomatoes, purslane under okra, amaranth greens (for salad) under corn, lettuce in between garlic, buckwheat cover crop between squashes, radishes under fava beans, leeks in between collard greens. And kale in a bed of cilantro. Didnt discourage or confuse the cabbage moth one bit though. The pesky creatures are too smart.

My goals in life shift more and more towards i just want to be able to afford my own garden one day. I live in switzerland (small country and everything is expensive, so far i have managed to get an appartment with a balcony with raised beds which will have to be enough for the next few years, until i earn more money and can afford something with a garden. But at night i still dream about having a garden.

Hi! Would it be possible for you to do a video on common things that can be interplanted? I'm new to interplanting and need some help knowing what to plant together. I planted tomatoes and onions together yesterday, but only after doing about 2 weeks of research to make sure enough sources said it was an OK combination. #GardeningImposterSyndome

Can you talk more about interplanting with tomatoes. I always do herbs and marigolds for pest prevention. Maybe some lettuce here and there. I have been cautious because i don't want to put heavy feeders with other heavy feeders. Would you mind giving some examples? Thank you for the videos!

I once accomplished a novel new way of interplanting completely by mistake. apparently one fine day a couple years back I couldn't tell an onion set from a flower bulb, and long story short, I now have the only salad bed I know of with daffodils blooming in it every spring. :D

I inter plant salads under my kales during the summer. I also start radishes next to my onions. I also grow flowers next to tomatoe plants. i grow spinach between my garlic aswell. I only grow in pots and even if my garlic will be a lil smaller. i get more bang for my buck.

I put lettuce and spinach i under my trellised tomatoes last year. I needed to spray the tomatoes with neem oil later on because of early blight and I had to pull the lettuce early so it wouldnt get neemed. I am keeping this in mind now when mixing plants.

I hit the like button at the end, but why in the world would I cultivate that like button before watching the video? I have no idea whether I like it or not without seeing it, so that would be dishonest and not a real service to you.

Hi, do you ever have any issues when closely interplanting? I've always wondered if interplanting crops closely would reduce size/yield/flavour etc due to each crop having to fight for the nutrients in the same space

One combo I am doing is bulb fennel interplanted with spring onions, the onions, since they are not being grown for big bulbs, are a short term crop that will be harvested before the fennel bulbs up.

I plant spinach between my garlic. It helps keep the weeds down and the spinach usually bolts right before the garlic is ready to pick. Then I have an open bed for green beans.

Great, thanks! Have you done a review of the raised beds? I am looking for something, but am worried that with summer sun in Italy the metal would overheat.
