How to Grow More in Less Space: The Secrets of Interplanting and Companion Planting

Welcome to Hort Culture, the podcast for plant lovers! In this episode, we'll explore the benefits of interplanting and companion planting, two techniques that can help you maximize your garden space and productivity. Interplanting is when you grow two or more crops together in the same area, such as lettuce and radishes, or corn and beans. Companion planting is when you choose plants that have beneficial effects on each other, such as repelling pests, attracting pollinators, or improving soil quality. We'll share some tips and tricks on how to plan and implement them in your own plantings. Whether you have a small raised bed or a large field plot, interplanting and companion planting can help you grow crops with less work and more fun.
