Alright, bunnings still had TONS of veggies left so I've loaded up and ordered some veggie mix soil to fill up my raised planters. How do I decide what goes where? i've got 4 raised planters and 2 stand alone smaller pot things. Gotta plan 2 strawberries, 2 Tomatoes, 4 beetroot, 1 capsicum, punnet of carrot, zucchini, punnet of cos lettuce and punnet of green beans. Dunno where to put stuff.
Idk but maybe look at companion planting guides, or what type of sacrificial plants to lure pests off more valuable veg
Might give some ideas
Edit: I know tomatoes are heavy feeders and beans have that nitrogen fixing thing that enriches the soil, maybe that’s a good combo and they both climb so could share the stakes/lattice. Maybe even plant the beans tomatoes and zucchini interspersed.
Just throwing out ideas. Someone experienced weigh in
Edit: Also I saw something once about people planting things with deep roots and shallow roots in together so they made the most of the shared small space but I haven’t tried it.
If I tried it it would be baby spinach and carrots because those are what I’m familiar with. But strawberries spread over the surface of the soil with runners so maybe they have relatively shallow roots and can bunk in with the carrots?
Idk though. It also depends on their sun water and drainage needs, and if they inexplicably don’t work out together for some other reason. You’d have to check proper sources whether they combine well
Lemme see if this pic comes out...
