In our new video blog post, Alex from Flower Street Urban Gardens describes the Three Sisters type of gardening as you’re planting your backyard vegetable garden.  The ‘three sisters’ style of planting is a traditional form of agriculture once used by Native Americans, who incorporated intercropping strategies to plant beans, corn, and squash together. This is an excellent style of organic vegetable farming. Sometimes called mixed cropping, this describes a method of planting where corn, beans, and squash all benefit the other. By planting in this manner, you can increase the bounty of th ..read more
