The little guy in the front is a bag seed that I started late then neglected and left for dead, maybe I’ll get a joint off her 😂

    Yeah I do multiple plants in my beds. The “weeds” at the bottom are a cover crop, mostly legumes. Clover in particular is an excellent nitrogen fixer. I grow in a 50 gallon living soil bed with as many as 5 plants in there.

      The benefit to doing multiple plants per bed is so the plants can communicate and share nutrients, Tad Hussey talks about it in a really informative podcast but basically it measurably helps with a lot of things including pest and disease resistance.
