Companionship, do you know? Companion is the art of associating (or dissociating) a vegetable side by side with another vegetable, herb or fruit. Each vegetable, herb or fruit is then a buddy with the other (one hunts pests or attracts them, for example) .This helps to promote an abundant and healthy harvest without the use of chemicals or pesticides.
Here is the list for a perfect wedding:
Nasturtium bean bean radish Sow seeds 2 cm deep every 1 m approximately. Water generously. A week after your sowing, the emergence is done. The butternut is a runner (it stretches! Leave room!) But its particularity is to offer few twists.
For harvesting, the ripe fruits must be picked. How do you know? Quite simply when the peduncle becomes woody, approximately 105 days after sowing. The fruits weigh between 1.5 to 2.5 kg.
