Companion Planting | In the Grow

In this episode of In the Grow, I am joined once again by plant expert/plant Jeeves, Dr. Vikram Baliga (Planthropology, TTU Horticultural Labs and Greenhouses, Professor, and quality human being) as we talk about companion planting! Companion planting can be a number of things: symbiotic plant relationships, spatial utilization, or visual aesthetics. Listen in to learn more! Special thanks to the Oneida tribe and various Native American tribes who have continued to pass down this tradition of companion planting through the generations.
