Now that many of the crops in our garden are established we are able to start interplanting beneficial flowers among the rows.

There are many benefits to interplanting flowers and herbs among the rows of energy crops or vegetables

  1. Attract Pollinators
  2. Attract Beneficial Insects
  3. Repel Garden Pest Insects
  4. Increase Biodiversity in the Garden
  5. Increase Production

* Miscanthus w/ Strawflower * Soybeans w/ Marigolds * Sunflowers w/ Cosmos
