2. & 3. Legume usage and Companion planting
|
3. Companion planting (inter cropping) for insect control, wind blocks, soil conservation etc. - Some plants give benefits to others to help them grow. Others, like marigold, ward off insects. Tomatoes do well with carrots and stimulate growth. Onions prevent the carrot fly from infesting the root with eggs. Papaya wards of corn borers. The radish pictured above will protect other crops planted in neighboring rows. |

S.A.L.T. hedges[Sloping Agricultural Land Technology] prevent high winds from damaging the crops and filter the wind while preventing erosion. The hedges are usually legumes but any plants can work. Planting rows follow the contour of the land and every other row is crops. |
