Beans More about
Beans
- Beans planted with Carrots & Cauliflower are
mutually beneficial.
- Marigolds planted with beans helps to repel the
Mexican bean beetle. They are pretty & perky too.
- Pole Beans are great neighbors to corn. The
vines anchor the corn. Really good here in windy Lubbock.
- Grow Pole Beans on an "inverted-V" Trellis and plant
radishes underneath. The radishes will appreciate the shade.
- INHIBITED BY all members of the Onion Family
- Compost the spent plants or turn under to enrich the
soil.
- Summer Savory improves their growth & also deters
bean beetles.
- Tansy is a good neighbor to beans, cucurbits
(cucumbers, squash, etc), corn, roses. It wards of flying pests. Plant in pots -
it is invasive & ugly.
- Sage deters cabbage flies, repels many bean
parasites
- Less likely to suffer from beetles
if petunias also planted alongside.
|
Carrots
- Sweeter tasting carrots result from a sufficient
level of lime. Be sure to supply plenty of compost or decomposed manure.
- Rosemary will repel carrot flies
- Intercropping onions and leeks with your carrots
confuses the carrot and onion flies!
- Chives improve the flavor of carrots.
|
Brassicas (Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage,
Cauliflower, Kohlrabi, Turnips)
- Herbs such as hyssop, rosemary or sage help repel
pests with their distinct aromas.
- Sage deters cabbage flies, repels many bean
parasites
- Brassicas are heavy feeders. Be sure to supply
plenty of compost or decomposed manure. They need lime, phosphorus & potash to
excel.
- Place peppermint in pots at the corners of Brassicas
bed. Mints are invasive and can be contained in pots.
- Plant Chamomile & Celery with cabbage as it Improves
growth and flavor. Plant Chamomile & Celery sparingly.
- Dill improves the growth and health of cabbage and
dill blossoms attract honeybees.
- Plant spinach at 6 to 12 inch intervals amongst
broccoli to reduce bug damage.
- Thyme deters to white flies & cabbage worms.
- Don't plant tansy because it actually attracts
cabbage worms.
