I am about to grow a number of plants outdoors and have a small functioning garden surrounding the major growing area.
Who here has any advice as to what to and not to plant around and throughout the plants??
No-Till Organic living soil model. Even considering intercropping. Cover is already there. Was a horse pasture for 20 yrs.

Okra. Lots of okra. Garlic, carrots, dill...

To my understanding, okra doesn't turpene swap. It's more of a cover plant because it looks just like cannabis. Leaves, stalk, nodes, and branches.

Whatever you do. Don't grow cannabis near cedar trees. You'll get a really strong pine/cedar type flavor. Pinesol type smell too.

Take a list like this and cross reference it with native plants in your area. There are more plants that attract beneficial insects than just what's on this list. My wife is taking horticulture classes and she said that there are plants that attract, repel, and trap. https://www.permaculturenews.org/2014/10/04/plants-attract-beneficial-insects/

I like ornamental grasses and native clover.i just shovel a patch up somewhere, break it up into clumps and scatter them on top of my big fabric pots. Its enjoyable for me to scan for stuff thats not clover growing in them.

Sweet list!
Things that seem to be common in my area Queen Anns Lace (wild carrot), Bergemont, Dill, Fennel, Mint, so on.

Awesome.
