Three Sisters Companion Planting! Part 6
Last year my family tried the Three Sisters companion planting technique for the first time! Passed down by the Native Americans, this technique is a great way to grow three crops together.
I wasn't posting much on KZread back when we did this so over the next few days I'll post the videos of our experience last year!
Would you want to give it a try?

It's a proven growing technique so ignore that guy... enjoy your grow
i was always told by my family on the reservation that the corn needs to be about a foot not 5 inches
GOOD LUCK!! YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT
Just found this channel and omg it’s the best. Keep it up! ❤
Cool!
You needed a measuring tape to see which corn seedling was taller?
In my 3 sister garden I use navy beans because I have no access to other heirlooms nice video 👍
Everywhere among our people
👍
Aztecs did this also
Wow I did it wrong and planted all at the same time from seeds ☹️☹️☹️

It may still be fine! The main issue would be if the beans grow faster then the corn they won't have anything to hold onto
I need open pollenated seeds

Pulling the plants up probably did more harm than leaving them a little close together
Terrible idea

3 sister companion planting is entirely an antiquated method of planting. This technique was utilized in an era when there was no plows nor field open fields for said agriculture. The "3 sisters" method when compared to modern agriculture techniques is the perfect way to grow these crops in the less successful of ways. You are virtually guaranteed a much smaller bounty of lesser quality in the final product. It's cool if you are a child doing a school project. However, if your goal is to grow crops in an optimal manner , this technique is simply a terrible idea.

@@yoholmes273 it doesn't hurt to try it at least once as an experiment which is what this person is trying to do pretty sure he isn't growing it to actually sustain his entire family in a life or death situation he is just having fun with it simple as that really

@333joshuaperezzz ☭ Stating obvious clear facts is , according to you "crying". 🤣 Embarrass yourself often or just always? While you "can't fix stupid" , it is clearly time to seek a qualified medical professional to assist you with those Anger Management issues

@Recon_TTVFH Sure it cool to try it out. It all depends ones goals. If your goal is to be a successful home gardener then , again, it would be a terrible idea. If the goal is just to try it out for the sake of trying...ok. That way, the rest of your life you can claim that you did it once and it really didn't work that well.... It will be a cool story to share.
