Intercropping is a form of organic gardening where plants are placed together that naturally benefit and strengthen each other. For over 70 years, this method has been practiced in the monastery garden in Fulda. Sister Christa presents not only solid foundational knowledge on the topic of intercropping but also many proven plant combinations and explains the positive influences plants have on one another. With numerous practical guides and sample beds to replicate, you are guaranteed to achieve sustainable planting in your fruit and vegetable garden. The book is complemented by reports in which gardening personalities share their experiences with intercropping.
