1. Vegetables: heavy feeders - medium feeders tasters - weak feeders

The crop rotation reducing pests and heavy feeders - medium feeders - weak feeders - green manure

The planting of a garden bed or field generally always has to change, so that not always the same nutrients are used, and so that no pests can dominate, because they specialize in certain plants. Diseases and pests are thus naturally contained with the crop rotation. In addition, the crop rotation is proceeded
-- with heavy feeders (there must be a fresh compost layer in the planting bed)
-- medium feeders (with a remaining compost layer in the planting bed) - and
-- weak feeders (with hardly any compost in the planting bed) in front of them.

With green manure plants that absorb nitrogen from the air and thus enrich the soil, or that enrich the soil themselves, one can improve the soil and loosen it up. At the end the plants are cut off and left as mulch [web37].

Here is a table with the different plants which need many nutrients (strong feeders), medium quantity of nutrients (medium feeders) and weak feeders:

In a garden there should be at least three different beds for strong feeders, medium feeders, and weak feeders [web38].

Strong feeders - medium feeders - weak feeders

The web site Bio Garden Kingdom (Biogartenreich) says: As long as a high nutrient content is available, one should cultivate strong feeders, when the nutrients go down medium feeders should be planted, and at the end weak feeders should be planted. With a little hillbed this process will end within 3 years, with a big hillbed with trunks in the ground it will last much longer [web36].

Tomatoes from mid-May - salad radishes from March - the main culture stays long in the bed (potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn), and the pre-culture / or after culture is growing fast (kohlrabi, radishes, spinach, lettuce, carrots), one should sow the fast vegetables all 4 weeks in a flexible way again. Therefore every month will be fresh vegetables available. The sequence new potatoes first and then winter cabbage is favorable. There is a sowing calendar of Maria Thun to recommend. [web38].


2. Green manure plants

Plants which enrich the soil with nitrogen or loosen the soil for more fertility

Green manure plants are planted as partner plant or before or after the main crop for bettering the soil. Fukuoka e.g. planted always barley with white clover together so this white clover accumulated nitrogen in the soil so he doubled his crop within 30 years.

The web site "Bio Gardener" (www.bio-gaertner.de) indicates the properties of green manure plants for soil improvement. Sometimes nitrogen is accumulated in the soil, sometimes the soil is loosened and becomes grainy etc. [web47].

<Compilation of green manure plants
Explanations: First here are the explanations for the key reading of the numbers:

Sowing time / seed rate g/m2 / lethal freezing temperature / root depth / soil type

-- Lethal freezing temperature: when there is a fleece installed, the lethal freezing temperatures drop by a few degrees
-- The root depth is indicated in cm and the roots only grow well under optimal conditions
-- Kind of soil: 1: all soils, 2: sandy, light, 3: acid, 4: light to medium, 5: calcareous; possibly with the following further quality features.

Now see the lists of the green manure plants:

And here are more reliable green manure plants:

-- Mixture of 20% Alexandrine clover, 60% oats, 20% Persian clover, sowing since 3-4, year-round; suitable as fodder for animals, or as mulch, nitrogen collector, not for dry soil. Rapid ground cover due to rapid youth development.
-- Field bean Vicia faba legumes as pre-seed before the main crop, months 2 - 7, even in drought, nitrogen collector, deep root. Even heavy soils. Not frost resistent. Taproots up to 1.5 m, for soil loosening. Cut off the beans. For nutrient-poor and dry soil. soils 3 - 5: 3: acid, 4: light to medium, 5: calcareous.
-- Cress Lepidium sativum Crucifers. Forms a lot of humus, fast growing.
-- Flat peas Lathyrus legumes. Stay low, tolerate dryness, freeze safely. For vineyard greening.
-- Red clover / meadow clover Trifolium pratense legume. Is frost resistent. Perennial green manure and fodder plant with taproot. Forms nitrogen. Significantly increases the amount of mellowness in the soil.
-- Bokhara clover, Melilotus albus, legume. This is good for clay soil, light sandy soils (not below pH 5.5) and for treating a soil fatigue. Bee pasture, grows to 140 cm high. The taproot can reach up to 5 m in length, breaking through plow sole and stone formations. With bokhara clover, cereals, root crops and fruit trees thrive better. Can be planted as a border planting on fruit tree slices fighting voles. The bitter coumarin is often not eaten by the dairy cows and other animals, but they accept fresh herbs after accustoming to it. The nutrients are equal to those of alfalfa. The plant is biennial. Sowing in early spring, 250 g / 100m2.

-- Borage (Borago officinalis), heliotropes. Is deeply rooting the soil. Bee pasture.
-- Quill mallow (Malva verticillata), malvaceae. Is a green manure plant with much leaf mass and strong tap root for soil loosening. During winter it's freezing away. Was used for centuries as a fodder plant. After sowing early in spring the plants can grow up to 2 m.
-- Cone wheat / English wheat (Triticum turgidum), sweet grasses. It is a nearly extinct species that is much more abundant than the wheat known today. Cone wheat is resistent to frost and is a rest for the soil during a crop rotation. Overwintering green manure should be incorporated in spring four weeks before the next planting so that the worms and organizems can convert it into humus.
-- Summer vetch / oat mixture, months 7 - 8, the oat supports the vetches. Nitrogen collector. For all soils, except acid. Frost resistant to -5 °.
-- Common corn-cockle (Agrostemma githago), pink family. Annual, is not related to crops and can be used everywhere. Their roots excrete saponins that destroy nematodes.
Also spelt (Triticum spelta), sweet grasses (winter) and flax (Linum usitatissimum) flax family, (summer) form rapid soil protection.


Practical green manure proposals:

-- Spring: short-term field bean, phacelia, mustard, spinach.
-- Spring / summer: field bean, alexandrine clover (1 / 2-1 year), pea-pea-oatmeal mixture, oats, Persian clover, Phacelia, Rotenburg combinade, mustard, spinach.
-- Summer / autumn: As an after crop plant lupines, oil radish, Phacelia, pea peas, mustard, common vetch evt. + oat.
-- Autumn: Overwintering green manure for fertilization of the soil can be done with Landsberger mixture, winter rape, winter beets, winter rye, downy vetch (eventually also with rye).

Compacted soil:

Suitable for loosening compacted soil are plants with deeply penetrating taproots: field bean, Bokhara clover, borage, yellow mustard, Landsberger mixture, lupine, alfalfa, oil radish, Persian clover, broad bean, curled mallow, red clover, sunflowers, king's clover, winter rape

Fukuoka e.g. planted always barley with white clover together so this white clover accumulated nitrogen in the soil so he doubled his crop within 30 years.


3. Planting the mixed culture partners (companion plants, "dream partners") - groups of plants can be planted in a positive way

Planting in rows the "right" vegetables can have very positive effects, so you can absolutely resign to any pesticides:

Gemüsebeet mit den
                        Traumpartnern Zwiebeln und Karotten   Begleitpflanzen zu Tomaten, Möhren, Kohl,
                      Endivien
Vegetables with dream partners onions and carrots [1] - Companion plants to tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, endives [5]

Plants that protect each other (companion plants)

Nature is designed so that plants in groups (mixed culture, mixed cultivation, biodiversity) grow better than single plants in a planting bed [web26]. One plant alone in a planting bed is like a human being in the desert without a hat [web26]. Well combined plants have the effects
-- a separate microclimate
-- a separate temperature
-- own shade and sun protection
-- mutual wind protection
-- own moisture and
-- support each other in growth [web26]
-- The productivity increases within the plant group [web26].

Plants communicate and warn each other with messenger substances

Plants in a mixed culture communicate with each other
-- via messenger substances of the roots in the earth and also
-- via messenger substances in the air [web70].

The messengers are e.g. sent out when harmful insects come, so that the neighboring plants are alarmed to store certain substances in the tissue that do not taste the insects, so that in the planting bed or in the cultivation area the damage by the insects is stopped [web70].

Companion plants - the "dream partners" with positive effects for both (win-win relationship, win-win plants)
Certain plants have a positive or negative effect on each other, so that both plants grow better or worse, that is, there are plants standing side by side that promote each other or block each other [web38]. The closer the dream partners are planted next to each other, the more they protect and promote each other [web39]. Certain vegetables

Certain vegetables
-- stimulate each other in plant growth, yielding more productivity [web26, web70]
-- bring more resistance to pests and diseases [web 26]
-- can hide plants from pests [web26]
-- can mask or neutralize the scent of certain plants so that pests are not attracted to them and find them less [web26] or "neighboring plant species can use scents to ward off or confuse other pests" [web70]

-- Different root depths: "Mixed culture helps save space - plants with different root depths consume nutrients in different soil layers, so you can grow a variety of vegetables in a small space without competing for nutrients." [Web70]
-- Different nutrients: "Since the vegetables also need different nutrients, soil fatigue is prevented installing a mixed culture." [Web70]
-- Soil remains shaded: "A denser planting shadows the soil and helps to regulate the water balance, as well as suppressing unwanted weeds." [Web70]

-- Certain flowers can attract beneficial insects, which then pollinate all vegetables [web26]
-- Certain plants can attract predatory insects that eat the pests in the garden (ladybugs [eat aphids], lacewings [eat aphids], hoverfly [eat aphids]) [web26]


Mixed
                                  cultivation with a scheme of the roots
                                  with carrots, salads and carrots which
                                  take their nutrients from different
                                  soil depths. Therefore a dense
                                  plantation is possible which also
                                  protects the soil
Mixed cultivation with a scheme of the roots with carrots, salads and carrots which take their nutrients from different soil depths.
Therefore a dense plantation is possible which also protects the soil [12].



Blocker plants
There are also plants that block or damage each other. These plants should be planted at a great distance from each other [web39].

[Ministry of Education is failing completely
Honestly, it is absolutely questionable why this important knowledge about the plants and Mother Earth is not taught at school, that should be mandatory in the third grade primary school].

Examples of companion plants (dream partners) with fruits, herbs, and vegetables [web63]

<Protection plants and partner plants

Planting near or as a group with protective plants and their effect on partner plants

Fragrance and root excretions of certain plants keep pests and some diseases from their special partner plants away as soon as they are planted next to each other. (Pouring flowers with a plant tea or laying branches is also supposed to work, but is much more labor-intensive than combined planting).

Protective plants and their effects on their partner plants and on the soil:

Basil (der Basilikum)

with cucumbers and tomatoes: attracts insects to pollinate, reduces mildew.

with tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage: Defends the whitefly.

Beans (die Bohnen)

with cabbages, raspberries, blackberries: their roots enrich the soil with fertilizing nitrogen.

Borage (der Borretsch)

with cucumbers: attracts insects to flower pollination, provides spice for cucumbers.

with pumpkins including zucchini: Attracts insects for pollination.

Cabbage species (die Kohlarten)

with celery: protection against celery rust

with tomatoes: Reduces leaf spots.

Caraway seeds / meridian fennel seeds (die Kümmelsamen)

with potatoes: intensifies their taste.

Carrot (die Möhre, die Karotte)

with onions and leeks: keeps onion flies and leek moths away.

Celery (der Sellerie)

with cabbages: protection against earth fleas, white cabbage butterfly, cabbage moths, cabbage flies, caterpillars. Loves wood ash, buckwheat makes potash available from the ground

Chervil (der Kerbel)

with salad species: repels ants and keeps away aphids and snails.

Common yarrow (die Gemeine Schafgarbe)

with blueberries: increases their fertility.

Corncockle (die Kornnelke, die Kornrade)

Increases the yield and quality of wheat

Cress (die Kresse)

with radish: earth fleas infest only the cress, radishes develop more flavor.

with may turnip: earth fleas infest the cress and don't attack the may turnips.

Dill (der Dill)

with cucumber, carrot, cabbage, beetroot: promotes their germination ability, prevents insects by scents, provides the ideal cucumber spice.

Fern (dryopteris) (das Farn)

with raspberries: Reduces the maggot infestation which comes by raspberry beetle.

Forget Me Not (das Vergissmeinnicht)

with raspberries: Reduces the maggot infestation by the raspberry beetle.

Garlic species (die Knoblaucharten)

with strawberries, roses, salad types, tomatoes: kills bacteria and fungi, especially gray mold.

Horseradish (der Meerrettich)

with cherry: works against Monilia (fungal disease).

with peach: works against curling disease (fungal disease).

with potatoes: horseradish leaves keep away potato beetles.

Lamb's lettuce (der Feldsalat)

with leeks and runner beans: is shading the soil promoting growth.

Lavender (der Lavendel)

with roses: repels ants and thus reduces the spread of aphids.

Leek (der Lauch)

with carrot: protection against the carrot fly

with strawberries: protects against gray mold.

Leek also has a favorable effect on the soil structure.

Lettuce types (die Salatarten)

with may turnips, radish, small radish: keeps away flea beatles.

Marigold (Calendula) (die Ringelblume)

with potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes: keeps nematodes  and wireworms away, promotes soil health.

Mustard (der Senf)

with berry bushes and vegetables, but never for cabbages: increases the fertility by shading and by incorporating its leaf mass in the soil, but promotes the clubroot.

Nasturtium (die Brunnenkresse, die Kresse)

with fruit trees: keeps them free of lice.

Oats (der Hafer)

with broad beans (vicia faba): Keeps the black bean aphid away.

Onion species (die Zwiebelarten)

with strawberry: works against fungal diseases and spider mites.

with carrots: reduces the carrot fly, it works against fungal diseases and spider mites.

Peas (die Erbsen)

with berry bushes, tomatoes: their roots enrich the soil with fertilizing nitrogen.

Potato (die Kartoffel)

on the ground: potatoes leave a crumbly soil.

Radish (der Rettich)

with leeks: keeps the leek moths away.

Sage (der Salbei)

with cabbages: expels earth fleas, white cabbage butterfly, cabbage moths, cabbage flies; so there are no caterpillars or at least less.

Savory (das Bohnenkraut)

for beans, also for broad beans (vicia faba): fights the black bean aphid and provides the ideal bean spice.

Scorpionweed (phacelia) (der Bienenfreund)

with all plants: Lures bees to pollinate the plants in the planting bed, keeps the soil healthy, provides green manure

Sour cherries (die sauren Kirschen)

with blackcurrants: keep each other healthy and fertile.

Southernwood (die Eberraute)

with cabbage sorts: It's odor (fragrance) keeps off cabbage white butterflies.

Stinging nettle (die Brennnessel)

with fruit trees and berry bushes, which have already developed a strong root system: keeps lice away, provides material for mulch and manure, promotes general recovery

Sweet lupins (süsse Lupinen)

with berry bushes and fruit trees: their roots enrich the soil with nitrogen (fertilizer!).

Tagetes (die Studentenblume)

serve as bait plants for snails, so the snails will not attack vegetable plants; scent of tagetes prevents the white fly, their roots keep the soil healthy, especially those of the patula species,

with strawberries, potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes: kills nematodes, keeps the white fly off.

Has an inhibiting effect on many weeds, including bindweed, couch grass and ashweed. They weaken and even kill them. Tagetes Minuta is the strongest species in this regard.

Tansy / cow bitter (der Rainfarn, das Wurmkraut)

with berry bushes: Keeps the shrubs healthy, if you cut it often and let the clippings as mulch on the soil.

Tomato (die Tomate)

with cabbage: Keeps cabbage white butterflies off. Green tomatoes in the kitchen can be placed in a dark box or paper bag along with fresh nettles. I have the experience that they mature well within 4-6 weeks in this way.

Valerian (der Baldrian)

with beans, peas, potatoes, cabbage

Vetch species (die Wickenarten)

with sunflowers: Climbing vetches supply sunflowers with nitrogen, sunflowers deeply loosen the soil.

with berry bushes: their roots enrich the soil with nitrogen (fertilizer!).

Wormwood (artemisia) (der Wermut)

with blackcurrant: protects against Cronartium ribicola rust. Wormwood, however, needs a sunny position and sandy soil to grow.

with leeks: drive away the leek moth.

THEREFORE VERY GOOD COMBINATIONS ARE:

-- Bean types (as well as broad bean) with: savory (summer savory and mountain savory), valerian
-- Beans: Climbing beans (incl. fire beans) with: lamb's lettuce, summer bean herb, mountain savory
-- Berry bushes with: scorpionweed, garden cress, garlic mace, low nasturtium, tansy (fast growing on the soil), marigolds, sweet lupins, vetches, mustard.
-- Blackberries with: bush beans, sweet lupines, vetches, mustard
-- Blackcurrant (on sunny spot) with: wormwood
-- Blueberries with: common yarrow
-- Broad beans with: summer savory, mountain savory, oats, potatoes
-- Cabbage species with: basil, dill, wormwood / lad's love, celeriac, marigold, sage, celery, low tartetes, tomato, cilantro, caraway, rosemary against white cabbage butterfly
-- Carrot with: dill, leek, shallot, onion, rosemary
-- Cherries with: horseradish
-- Cucumbers with: basil, borage, dill
-- Fruit trees (if they have already developed a large root system) with: stinging nettle, nasturtium, otherwise: scorpionweed, borage
-- Jerusalem artichokes with: climbing beans, scorpionweeds, buckwheat, vetches
-- Lamb's lettuce with: leek, runner beans, fire beans
-- Leeks with: corn salad, summer radish, wormwood, winter radish
-- May turnip with: chervil, salad types
-- Onion types with: strawberry, carrot, marjoram
-- Peach with: horseradish, sunflower
-- Peas with: barley, mustard, valerian
-- Potatoes with: horseradish, caraway, marigold, low tagetes, valerian, broad beans
-- Pumpkin types (including zucchini) with: borage
-- Radish with: chervil, leek, salad types
-- Raspberries with: bush beans, low peas, marigolds promote health; with: yarrow promotes fertility; with: ferngrass, lily of the valley and forget-me-not prevent maggot infestation by the raspberry beetle. Plant lilies of the valley within raspberry fields, make raspberries healthy and productive. Also raspberries with: garlic + onions, tansy and lemon balm between the raspberries improve the health.
-- Red beet with: dill, bush beans
-- Rose types with: garlic, lavender, sage, crosswort (Phuiopsis stylosa), lady's mantle, peppermint, scorpionsweed (phacelia), marigold, tulips, thyme, rue
-- Salads with: chervil, garlic
-- Scorpionweed: with all plants
-- Small radishes with: garden cress, chervil, salad types
-- Strawberries with: garlic, allium, low tagetes, shallot, onion
-- Sunflowers with: vetches, peach
-- Tomatoes with: basil, garlic, cabbage, low tagetes, marigold,

Plants against mosquitoes: tansy (Tanacetum [web65]), pennyroyal, garlic, wormwood, sassafras, (camomile [web66])
[More tricks against mosquitoes:
-- put an open glass of coconut oil in the room and mosquitoes will fly away from the odor
-- put a cream with eucalyptus and mosquitoes never come again, can be put under tables, chairs or under the bed, for example an anti rheuma creme]
Plants against moths: sage, mint, rosemary, thyme, pennyroyal, wormwood, lavender, spearmint

Plants against red spider: onion

Plants against slugs: oak leaf mulch, dry rosemary, wormwood

Plants against snails: garlic, collect cabbage leaves or inverted citrus peel cups

Plants against thrips [web68]: pyrethrum (powder from dried flowers from Dalmathian pyrethrum [web67])

Plants against tomato worm: garlic

Plants against weevils: garlic

Plants against white fly: nasturtium, basil: use as spray [web64]


Plants against pests 2 [web66]

-- Basil helps repel flies and mosquitoes.
-- Borage in the strawberry patch will increase the yield.
-- Catnip repels fleas, ants and rodents.
-- Caraway helps breakdown heavy soils.
-- Chamomile deters flies and mosquitoes and gives strength to any plant growing nearby.
-- Chives grown beneath apple trees will help to prevent apple scab; beneath roses will keep away aphids and blackspot.
-- Elderberry a general insecticide, the leaves encourage compost fermentation, the flowers and berries make lovely wine!
-- Fennel (not F. vulgare or F.officionale) repels flies, fleas and ants.
-- French Marigold root secretions kill nematodes in the soil. Will repel white fly amongst tomatoes.
-- Garlic helps keep aphids away from roses.
-- Hyssop attracts cabbage white moth keeping brassicas free from infestation.
-- Mint repels cabbage white moth. Dried and placed with clothes will repel clothes moth.
-- Nasturtium secrete a mustard oil, which many insects find attractive and will seek out, particularly the cabbage white moth. Alternatively, the flowers repel aphids and the cucumber beetle. The climbing variety grown up apple trees will repel codling moth.
-- Pyrethrum will repel bugs [damaging insects] if grown around the vegetable garden.
-- Rosemary repels carrot fly.
-- Rue (Rutus, not Peganum) keeps cats and dogs off garden beds if planted round the borders.
-- Sage protects cabbages from cabbage white moth.
-- Tansy (Tanacetum, not Senecio) repels moths, flies and ants. Plant beneath peach trees to repel harmful flying insects. Tansy leaves assist compost fermentation.
-- Wormwood (Artemesia, not Ambrosia) although it can inhibit the growth of plants near it, wormwood does repel moths, flies and fleas and keeps animals off the garden.



The plant combinations - the mixed culture table with companion plants ("dream partners") + "blockers" + feeder specifications

Certain plants have a protective effect on others, or they promote each other and are "mixed culture partners" (companion plants, "dream partners"), or they also block each other: Here is the table with the data from www.wurzelwerk.net:

Robust vegetables, which hardly cause problems and guarantee a safe harvest, are: herbs, lettuce, chard, zucchini, beetroot, radish, garlic, Jerusalem artichoke, beans or leeks [web38].

The alternative in the small garden: pouring a herb soup or lay down branches

If you only have a small garden, you can also make a soup from the "protective plant" and use it to water the partner plant, or you can also place branches of the "protective plant" between the partner plants [web58].

-- Onion: Onion's odor expells carrot fly [web38]
-- Carrot: Carrot's odor expells onion fly [web48]
-- Celery: celery's odor expells cabbage fly + cabbage aphids [web48]
-- Cress: Cress scent expells snails [web48]
-- Borage with many flowers: attracts bumblebees + insects, so that other vegetables are safely fertilized [web48]
-- Marigold flowers expell Pratylenchus worms (round worms [web49]) and guarantee other plants intact roots and good growth [web48]

Examples of companion plants (mixed culture partners, "dream partners"):
-- carrots + onions: onion scent sells the carrot fly - carrot scent sells the onion fly [web38]
-- carrots + onions - kohlrabi + small radishes - peas + lettuce - by root secretions such as saponins (soap substances) and essential oils [web48]
-- Tomatoes + basil: The root exudates of basil cause tomatoes to absorb the nutrients better + are forming more flavor. Basil in the protected tomato bed develops more leaf mass and roots will not rot [web48].
-- Kohlrabi + celery: Both grow very well when they are well watered. The strong celery smell expells cabbage fly + cabbage aphids [web48].
-- Lettuce + peas (sugar peas, peas): lettuce grows fast, initially consuming the nutrients. Peas grow slowly. The lettuce is already harvested when the peas come right and need the nutrients [web48].
-- Zucchini and cress (Nasturtium): Zucchini is a flat rooter. Nasturtium loosens the soil and keeps it weed-free. The smell of cress (Nasturtium) expells the snails [web48].
-- Borage improves the growth of other vegetables in general. Borage attracts bumblebees + insects and ensures pollination [web48].
-- Borage + cucumbers: Borage improves the flower bud. Borage attracts bumblebees + insects and ensures pollination [web48].
-- Borage + Strawberries: Borage improves the flower bud. Borage attracts bumblebees + insects and ensures pollination [web48].
-- Swiss chard: Swiss chard with large leaves provides shade protection and keeps the soil moist [web48].
-- Marigold flowers: Promote growth in any plant by preventing root damages with Pratylenchus worms (round worms [web49]) [web48].
-- Swiss Chard + Marigold flowers: Swiss chard with large leaves provides shade protection and keeps the soil moist, so that the Marigold flowers germinate safely. The Marigold flowers keep Pratylenchus worms away and chard grows very well [web48]


Nitrogen plants
-- beans,
-- peas,
-- sweet lupins: promote berry bushes and fruit trees: their roots enrich the soil with nitrogen (fertilizer!) [Web58]
-- vetches: enrich the soil with nitrogen (fertilizer!) [web58]
-- all Legumes (beans) give the soil nitrogen (beans) [web26]

4. Save and rebuild hard, barren soil

When there is no more growth, the soil can be "repaired", with plants with strong taproots, with plants with long roots, with mulch and humus:
-- Plant taproot pioneer plants: fenugreek, dandelion break up the soil [web26]
-- Potatoes loosen the soil: potatoes leave a crumbly soil [web58]
-- Dig in rare cases, then mulch and cover the open soil to protect the soil animals [web26]
-- Put compost [web26]
-- Plant plants which produce a lot of green mulch biomass, so that the leaves then rot to humus [web26]
-- Legumes give the soil nitrogen (beans) [web26]
-- Never step on the ground of a garden bed [web26]
-- Earthworms produce more fresh humus in the bed, earthworms dig well the earth [web26]

Weed killer
Tagetes against "weeds"
Tagetes inhibits many proliferating weeds, including bindweed, couch grass and ashweed. They weaken and even kill them. Tagetes Minuta is the strongest in this regard [web58]


5. Grow vegetables, more guidelines and tricks

Growing vegetables that do not exist in the supermarkets will increase self-esteem and eventually there will be sellings to others [Flo Scott - web25].

Tactics for vegetable cultivation:

Distances: Keep distances with the same vegetables, do not plant too densely: The recommendations of the "distance instructions" have their meaning: too densely planted vegetables of the same sort take each other the water away [web20], and take each other the nutrients away, and can not reach full size, will be weaker and more susceptible to pests [web25].

Distances: Different vegetables can be planted densily: When the vegetables in a planting bed are different vegetables then they can also be combined in a dense space, according to the experience of fruit forest owner Robert Hart. There are no problems with watering or robbing water from plant to plant when the vegetables are different [web20].

Sowing vegetables marking the vegetables with sowing strips: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/337910778282544386/

Vegetables with sun, mushrooms and ferns in the shade: where trees form a closed shade, one can not plant vegetables that need sun, but mushrooms and shade plants must be planted that grow rapidly in the spring, before the foliage of the trees is closed forming a total shadow [web23].

Drought-resistant vegetables and spices with long roots
-- Jerusalem artichoke, has no problems with drought, multiplies like weeds with normal climatic conditions [web20]
-- Leek [web20]
-- Parsnip [web20]
-- Carrots [web20]
-- Oregano [web20]
-- Thyme [web20]
-- Rosemary [web20]
-- Sorrel: French sorrel is not only edible, but is also a dynamic accumulator of K, P, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg. Sorrel roots make their tunnels down to four to six feet [down to 2m] and pull up minerals to the surface which remain on the surface during winter when the leaves die [web22]

Planting plant groups together - corn + beans + pumpkin "The Three Sisters": These plants in a group increase each other, and also space is saved. In the "USA", the indigenous people developed a combination "The Three Sisters": corn + climbing beans + pumpkin (squash). Beans are climbing the corn, and beans accumulate nitrogen in the soil providing more nutrients. The pumpkin grows on the ground and prevents the soil from drying out and suppresses the weeds. For soil protection you can also plant cress (nasturtium) [Flo Scott - web25].

Further combination options:
-- Climbing beans on the ground with cress (nasturtium) on the ground: the cress (nasturtium) expels black flies from the beans [Flo Scott - web25]
-- Radish + parsnip together: the radish grows fast and the parsnip grows for a long time [Flo Scott - web25]
-- Carrots + onions: the onion smell expels the carrot fly [Flo Scott - web25].
-- Herbs and vegetables in a polyculture: this combination will confuse cabbage white butterfly and other harmful animals [Flo Scott - web25].

Crop rotation: spring plants - summer plants - winter plants
-- with clever planning you can harvest several times a year [web25], so that the plants will follow each other in a favorable sequence [web26]
-- the periods may also overlap slightly, so that the planting beds will never be empty [web26]:
Examples:
-- purple beans, then summer salad, and then broad beans, and between put fresh compost mulch on the ground [Flo Scott - web25]

Crop rotations, for not leaching the soil

-- "If possible, do not cultivate the same crop for two years at the same spot (except enduring 2 years plants).
-- If possible, do not plant vegetables of the same plant family in the same place for two consecutive years. [...]
-- Check the mixed culture table to see if planned crops are compatible in the raised bed.
-- Check up about endangered crops (leeks, carrots, cabbages, strawberries) if there are protective assistant plants. "[Web60]


Examples of soil mixtures for raised beds

Plantura-Garten (Germany) recommends the following soil, compost and natural fertilizer for raised beds:

-- "Floragard Universal raised bed soil: Special soil without peat for filling raised beds, no different layers needed.
-- Floragard compost for raised beds: Premium compost with ideal composition and nutrients for raised beds.
-- Cuxin Raising & Herb Fertilizer: High quality, organic-mineral and vegan plant-based fertilizer for optimal growth and rich harvest. Ideal for use in raised beds and for the nutrient supply of herbs. "[Web60]

Overproduction can be given to neighbors: This is how to cultivate neighborly relations [Flo Scott - web25].



6. Tricks with individual vegetables

Vegetables that provide shade:
"Plant hops and beans to shade sunny parts of the house in summer and lower the temperature on the planting bed." [Web24]

Broccoli: When it comes to broccoli, the umbels are the first to come on the market as broccoli. Only later the side flowers appear, from which one can save the seeds [web22].

Leeks: With the harvest of leek one can let stand 4cm of it and new leek grows [web24].

Salad: salad must grow in shady places, otherwise it will get a bitter taste [web50]. (!!!!!!!!)



Karotten: "Achten Sie darauf, dass Sie genügend von der Oberseite für das vegetative Nachwachsen lassen, insgesamt etwa 2 cm Wurzel und Blatt. Dieser Prozess findet in einer Erweiterung von steckling seed carrots statt. Steckling ist die Methode, um Karotten für die Selektion von Wurzelmerkmalen zu ziehen und sie dann nach einer kurzen Vernalisationsphase wieder zu pflanzen, um Samen anzubauen. Für weitere Informationen zum Steckenpferd lesen Sie die Grundsätze und Praktiken der Produktion von Bio-Karottensaatgut im pazifischen Nordwesten (PDF) der Organic Seed Alliance." [web243]



7. Tuber vegetables / root vegetables

Cut off tubers from carrots, onions and turnips and set new ones: Cutting off the tuber and replant the top, the plant will recover and form a new tuber, not as beautiful as the first one, but much faster than after sowing another time [web24].

Onions in the 12-liter bottle: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/485192559846912568/

Fennel: Only cutting the fennel bulb away, a new fennel bulb will grow [web24].

Potatoes in the raised bed to avoid fretting
A permaculture group from South Oregon says:

"Plant your potatoes in empty raised beds. After digging potatoes out of the ground by hand last year, I swore, "Never again." Digging potatoes out of the ground is not just a lot of work and a game of hunting and searching, but you also compete with the rodents for their harvest. Here are four old raised beds with 1/4 inch wire hardware cloth nailed to the floor to keep the rodents from working in. We planted the potatoes in 2 to 3 inches of compost and then covered it with old straw. We will continue to add alfalfa when the potato plants are grown - to increase our yield vertically. Alfalfa is preferable to straw because of its low nitrogen content. I estimate that we will at least double our yield per square foot with the raised beds and with the simple harvest procedure without losses by rodents. After the potatoes have been removed this fall we will throw the alfalfa into the compost heap and start with a fresh cover next spring. By replacing the nutrient medium the accumulation of potato pests is hindered." [web24]

There is a bucket for potatoes with removable insert: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/861946816159216916/

Tuber vegetables can be grown in a hanging pot with hanging roots and hanging tubers coming down below:
https://www.pinterest.de/pin/492299803011697750/

Asparragus: can be planted at home: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/329185054005562140/

Ginger can be grown in a glass of water: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/461689399273085804/

Garlic can be grown in a glass of water: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/556053885229637296/


Further features about vegetables - and companion plants

Zucchini: unpretentious - Strawberries: undemanding - Spices in the blazing sun: undemanding - Thyme is ground cover - Paprika takes longer - Chard is best for cool season, when it's cut it grows again - Bush beans ripen quickly and do not climb much - green beans climb on supports as also soybeans do, also Lima beans, scarlet runner beans, bell beans - salads must grow in the shade, otherwise they will be bitter [web50].

Companion plants (dream partner combinations): salad + arugula, salad + chicory, salad + chervil, salad + spinach - carrots + radishes: are available in 1 month. Small radishes: leaves can be harvested after 2 weeks, after about 3 weeks the radishes themselves. In autumn can be harvested one more time [web50].


8. Climbing vegetables

Beans, peas, cucumbers: tendril plants can grow high (beans, peas, cucumbers), at the same time will grow on the ground other vegetables (chard, salads, rootbeets) [Flo Scott - web25].

Climbing cucumbers growing on a pergola: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/430938258075889050/

Eggplant growing on a pergola: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/382383824595408333/

Broad beans are suitable for lower temperatures and accumulate nitrogen in the ground like all legumes [web26]

Legumes (beans) give the soil nitrogen and make it more fertile [web26]

Plant tomatoes yourself: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/46443439892201831/
