Dont mind spiders but wasp i am seriously alergic to not allergic to all stinging bugs but my mother is allergic to bees wasp and yellow jackets but bees most of the time those arent agressive even hornets arent agressive unless swatted at or accidently harmed
Jep, totally my way of thinking. Thank you for putting it in a video, the logic makes much sense, so I will use it next year for the patch of land we might be finally able to rent! This year will be meagre: just what fits in between the garden next to our house, all filled with perennials: roses, lavender, berries, some flowers, an apple tree… In fact, our little garden resembles a very, tiny, little foodforest xD Next year part of my dreams will come true 😀
I bless you,
Love from The Netherlands,

Thank you so much! This was the MOST helpful video. I think I’ve struggled with companion planting because of the exact things you’ve mentioned. You have a gift. Keep salting sister!!
Great stuff!!! Got clearness on companion planting and answers to my question – WHY?! You are a gifted gardener 🙂
Another great video Jess!
Good common sense approach to companion planting, with explanations! I'm a big fan of patchwork gardening–interspersing plants in many locations and peppering throughout with marigolds, nasturtium, alyssum, borage, herbs, and many other flowers. I have a tiny plot (1/5 acre) and am still able to grow a lot of food. I check the plants and handpick the bad guy bugs regularly. Great video!
Thank you for your videos, I work at the Extension office here in Conway and process the soil samples. Love the positive attitude 🙂
THIS IS EXACTLY THE VIDEO I WAS HOPING FOR!
chives help to distract the pest for the carrots
Thanks, Jess. Very interesting and informative.
how great to see a dated video with info not misleading me for a click…
Who knew I was gardening the "french way" for the last 30+ years. My favorite gardening book is 'Companion Planting for Gardeners" A scientific approach to gardening and why the plant (flowers, herbs, trees, fruit and vegies) works or doesn't work. Love the information is has for the very reasons you bring up about those suggestions on line. Book is outa print, but a library may have it.
Thank you for bringing this subject up, diversity in gardening is the same in life. Blessings from CA
Note: that is why we see roses at the end of grapevines to attract the aphids away from the grapes.
You can also test soil very generally by taking a soil sample and adding baking soda to it or vinegar and seeing what reaction it has it’s a baking soda bubbles it’s acidic if the vinegar bubbles it’s alkaline
I’m a newbie and have no idea what I’m doing lol. I planted spinach, arugula, mustard greens, kohlrabi, and lettuce in one galvanized tub. Will I get good growth?
I was thinking the same thing… I'm reading Carrots Love Tomatoe and was trying to decide how I was going to plant carrots in the summer
while i mostly agree with this, i would say be careful with alliums, especially garlic. Garlic secretes a chemical that can really stunt the growth of some plants.
You do an awesome job…. so informative. I am glad I found your channel. If you see this can you tell me if you have a video where you talk about hardening off plants? After 14 years it is still the hardest part of gardening for me. I plant borage with my tomatoes, it gets four to five feet tall, and in all these years I have only had one tomato horn worm. I was trying out a black fabric bag and it was sitting far away from the tomato "patch". Every gardening experience with what works seems to be different. All part of the learning journey. God Bless you and your family.
Fall carrots with indeterminent tomatoes. Early lettuce and basil under the tomatoes in spring and early summer
It's more about the fungi bacteria biome they can help each other & improve the micro biome which helps pests & desise & feeding plants
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE INFORMATIVE VIDEOS!! Please do more!! Herbs please. Im crashing horribly!! ♥️
Can you tell me why you have glass jars all over your garden? Is it for pests hand picked?
Yes, thank you!!! I always want to know the why! ❤️❤️❤️
What are those flowers over your shoulder at 6:10 ? They are gorgeous.
I just love you.
Lots of good information! Thank you for sharing!
This would be a great "Throwback" video to Turn viewers too. A Throwback series from Roots and Refuge. Starting from your first video at the Original Roots and Refuge Farm and Match it with the First video of your new farm!!!! Most inspirational story in my life.
