Companion plantings of some kind are already practiced all through agricultural history. Some in the earliest written documents on gardening discuss these relationships. Early settlers discovered American Primary Nations men and women had been using an interplanting scheme of corn-bean-squash that balanced the requirements of each and every crop for light, water, and nutrients. Inside the 1800’s, hemp (cannabis) was often planted around a cabbage field to help keep away the white cabbage butterflies in Holland. In quite a few parts of the world today, subsistence farmers and organic gardeners build two or additional crops simultaneously in a given location to achieve a certain benefit.

The different styles of gardens that can be built are limited only by your imagination. Some people create backyard gardens, others build vegetable gardens Most well kept gardens are pleasing to look at. Herbal gardens provide fresh spices for cooking and salads.

Many options are available for building your garden. Building your garden in containers is an increasingly popular route to take. You can move some containers into more or less sunny areas as needed. Raised bed gardens provide a more orderly and structured garden. Both containers and raised beds are easier to weed as they are up above the ground itself.
