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!

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.
