In this video I share the best plants to intercrop with climbing beans to maximise yields in your vegetable garden. Climbing beans such as runner beans are a fantastic crop that allow you to plant many other edible crops so you can grow as much food as possible, and it is especially useful if you have a small space vegetable garden such as a patio garden. Intercropping, which is also known as interplanting, is a great tool for permaculture vegetable gardeners as it helps encourage diversity in planting and improve the soil health.

Hi Hugh,enjoyed your as always helpful encouraging video.To concentrate on a a few crops can be very useful to a gardener who like me is trying to branch out and try evolving to grow a few more items.Thanks Hugh,super.
Thats really cool Huw, thanks! I wonder what you can interplant with tomatoes? Are there any differences with beans?
Thanks for sharing this information.
Yes, please! I would love more videos on intercropping! This was great! Thank you!
Definitely interested in an interplanting series 🙂
I heard dill is a great synergistic herb to growing with onions.
Made SO many notes, thank you. Please could you tell me where to buy the modules for the long rooted runner bean seedlings? Thank you.
Great video, thanks.
This is excellent. I've been doing lots of intercrops this year. But I have been using bush beans and they have big a bit too big. I'm thinking about some different crops to include in different areas (under corn, trellised cucumbers, etc). Please do the series! There are tons of different combinations that could be included.
I would love to hear more about intercropping. Great information! LyNette, Colorado
thank you
Looking forward to these series,man!
oooooorale,!!..como puedes mexclar dos plantas si que se afecten unas a otras?????
Yes! Love the idea of making this into a series. Looking forward to it!
yes for the series please!
This was such a helpful video, thank you so much for making it.
I use phacelia around my brassicas to shade them in the mid summer, they'll dry up and make good compost at the end of July. I've also notice the slugs cover them and not the brassicas.
Yes please to the series Huw, – that would be so useful!
Estoy probando ese metodo dentro de invernadero tomate indeterminado con ejotes verdes y lechuga asta aora va muy bien las lechugas ya se estan cosechando el tomate y el ejote estan comenzando a floreser saludos de Oaxaca Mexico
Lovely video! I use interplanting and companion planting to increase yields in my garden. I'm very interested to learn more about what plants work best together to increase yields, boost flavor, and create optimal growing environments for each other. Thank you!
Your videos are really high quality. Thank you for making these!
Definitely would love that intercropping series!! I tried to do this exact thing this year but it didn't quite work out too well. Hopefully I can learn and apply this for next year's garden!
More like this please. Very interesting! Would never have thought of using the IBC tank for planting climing beans and will be trying this in my allotment.
I would love to see more intercropping videos!
These videos are great for my mental health! I can literally feel my anxiety and stress levels subside after watching a few of them! Plus, it motivates me to get out into the garden! Thanks Huw.
I am so encouraged to see your videos and started a small garden, nice ideas brother
Great content Huw. I’ve long had a deep interest in intercropping and companion planting. More videos on this topic would be well worthwhile!!
