Pádraig Scott :

not gonna mention where this came from?

Begarnot 🇨🇦 :

Brian. did you know that those three stewed together react in such a way that they give you complete protein chains and enough vitamins to live on that for a whole winter 👌 (not that I expect you to eat only this all winter but it was a survival stew way back when)

cougars_compass :

Indigenous Agro ecology at work!

suzymic :

Companion planting is sooooo important!! ❤️

Rykaroni :

Not even mentioning who came up with it. Convenient.

Modern Baba :

adri.girl93 :

Indigenous knowledge. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

metal_countryboy :

My man was out there like Obi Wan towards the end 🤣🤣

jeffchabot :

beans will climb bend and pull the corn to the ground

Trip4dayz :

this is exactly how the Indians did it

Rob :

Three sisters is a great method for maximum results

DF22 :

Another indigenous cultivation trick I use is growing vines up trees. Best cucumbers I’ve grown in my garden are the ones I planted under our tree and let them grow up. Produced all summer long

Angela Hooley :

“But I’m not a commercial farmer so I can do more….!” Yes! And love all this!

Nr5 :

Another helpful part of this is that the squash shade out the ground to help prevent small-seeded weeds from establishing.

Marcya X :

indigenous tecniques servive longer than we can imagine! thats só beautiful! and the rain, made it all more Aesthetics

ChantelTexasBlooms :

Oh how cool. I’ll give it a try too!

meoh_g :

We grow a 3 sisters patch every year and always does well. We grow them all separately as well in bigger patches but 3 sisters always turns out better.

Teddi Fernandez :

From Bernalillo New Mexico, enjoyed the three sister lesson for folks who don’t live on the Rio Grande. We would love to sit in the pouring rain with you!

Mathes Family Farm :

This rain in Ga has been something else.

Brayan :

We call it MILPA

the solarpunk farmlet :

If you’re in the comments interested in this look into more indigenous and permaculture practices! 🥰

tterosa :

does it matter which type of plant each is?

Farmpartment❤️🍁❤️ :

I love SO much that you started yelling as it started raining 🤣... then the regulating and realizing that it was enjoyable and your voice calming lmao.... It has me laughing pretty good this morning because I super feel it. The rain rush on the farm, followed by "well I'm wet and this actually feels pretty good". I don't know HOW many times this has been me 100%.

kane :

⁰²you you

curt :

You can replace the beans with snap peas, 🫛 a great nitrogen feeder too, I think the Nitrogen source is the Big red beans in Spanish there called Piligüe but unlike regular red beans they're 2or 3 times there called Size
