It has been more than two years since the practice of urban Agronomy and bio-intensive agriculture, and the advantage of mixed planting is naturally that plants can grow better, one plant can cover another plant, insect control or can give support to nutrients in the soil, such as legumes because they contain rhizophrobacteria can fix nitrogen, which means that the plants planted next to them can obtain nitrogen very well. Some flowering plants can attract pollinating insects and so on for plants that need fruit.
The art of life, like flower arrangement, growing vegetables is more interesting, beautiful, and can also promote the growth of vegetables and melons.

Mixed planting is a bit like an arranged marriage, where plants can't talk to tell us who we like. In order for plants to grow better, we need to understand which plants are best not to plant together, and which species together not only save water, but also harvest less insect pests.
The most classic is the three sisters used by the Native Americans, corn, pumpkin and beans. Use tall corn so that beans can climb, pumpkin vine leaves, cover the ground shade to prevent water loss, and thorny leaves can help corn stop pests and weeds; , and legumes can solidify the soil, providing nitrogen fertilizer for corn and pumpkin.
In the past, because there was no consideration of planting unsuitable plants in the same pot, the plants did not grow well. For example, plants that need frequent watering, plants that can't do it when they lack water, and plants that are more drought-tolerant and don't like too much water. In addition, some plants with the same insect characteristics can not be planted together, otherwise it will attract a large number of "pests" who like these plants.
So the list was put together to avoid mistakes before planting.

In addition, the dry lotus is a good pest trap, because many pests like it, it can attract caterpillars from cabbage and cauliflower, and also attract black flies from broad beans, and it is also loved by aphids. That's why instead of growing vegetables alone, planting them with flowers can help vegetables reduce pests and harvest more abundantly.
Sunflowers are also good with cucumbers and lentils, and sunflowers can provide support for climbing plants and help shade, especially in hot weather. However, you need to pay attention to how to arrange it, after all, this position is also very important.
If you like it, collect it, take a closer look before planting, draw a picture, and plan where the plants are best planted.
