For a first time gardener planning a victory garden, this was THE most helpful info I have come across. So simple even someone like me benefited from it. Thank you for making me feel like pro!!! Much appreciated!!!

IF you're doing the 3 Sisters mounding method here's some tips for you based on experience in my own garden;

Prepare your mound or elevated row.
Place a sturdy stake (I prefer bamboo) in the centre of the mound/seed-site.
Place 4 kernels around the stake, about 1"/3cm from the stake.
When germinated corn shoots are 5"-10" height place 4-8 pole beans around outside of corn shoot cluster.
Place 2 pumpkin/squash/melon seeds on opposing sides of shoot cluster.
IF possible, string twine between the tips of the mound stakes. Anchor twine to a fixed fence or pole if possible.
As pole bean plants grow, train them to go around the central corn cluster - bamboo stake in the middle - as this will trellis the bean plants and help support the corn plants to prevent toppling from the weight of the bean plants in the future.
The twine between the bamboo stake tips will give another trellis for the beans to grow along and help distribute the weight of the bean plants.
Some pumpkin/squash/melon vines will partially climb to move/grow between the corn stalk clusters.

I actually have twine strung up in a weave like pattern between the stakes, stalks, and fencing to provide a scaffolding for a pole bean canopy because I like the pole beans to have aerial opportunity and options.

So far, the corn, beans, and melon/pumpkin vines are getting along with the brassica plants.

I leave my brassica in place so I can harvest the plant leaves as well as any heads that might form.

IF you're companion planting with marigolds, the marigold seeds should be placed as close to the base of the tomato/potato plants as possible.

Okay, I'm done 👍

Excellent and to the point/brief and comments were also very helpful. The summary screen shot was extremely helpful! Thank you.

Plant zucchini, Patty pan squash with Oregano, thyme, basil….squash bugs hate the smell of fragrant herbs. Be sure to get the herbs growing good first, then put the squashes in the bed or container(or plant seeds).

Great video thank you for sharing! Native Americans still use this method and we are still here using it just want to clarify that its not something we USED to do! Keep up the good work!

I have some very happy cherry tomatoes that have overwintered here in SoCal. They have taken advantage of some bushes and the vines in my wall. No other support. They are acting like a vine should. One is intertwined with a bougainvillea. There are no bad sections or parasites that I can see. Bit messy looking, but they are productive.

This was super helpful especially to your five groupings. It helps dummies like me who are just starting with companion planting. Thank you.

Refreshing video! Thank you for teaching ancient three sisters. Just one question, What plants repels a scurry of squirrels?

[CraftsByMaura]

I would love to see pictures or video of how you're planting them together, if there's a specific layout that works best, like rows, or clusters, etc. I'm using raised garden beds which usually need specific layouts for the small spaces.

I’m completely new to gardening (and most plants in general- I only know succulents well), and this feels like magic. Planting things specifically to attract beneficial insects is especially cool.

[autumnbailey]

Straight to the point and awesome. Thank you so much!

[AlphaHomeDC]

This video is very useful for starters like me.

[reddamooyoung.]

[Joyfil]

What an outstanding, organized, informative presentation with examples and simplified rationale. A job well! ❤

[samanthagray]

In all honesty I was thinking this video was great and liked the info but was just going to let the next autoplay video play without liking, then you threw up the screenshot part and I immediately liked the video and was overjoyed. Thank you for making it even easier for us! You're awesome 👌 👏

[amyv-m]

Thank you for the screenshot at the end 😊

This was very helpful, thank you for sharing it!

[TheMixingBowlHomestead]

This is awesome information. I haven't really done much of companion planting, so this gives me much needed basics. Thanks for sharing.
