A big problem I had with the [[onions]] last year is that they were overpowered by weeds. Apparently this is a common problem with onions, I want to try countering it by intercropping with the soybeans. Hopefully this will also keep more of the bugs away from the soybeans.

This is already off to a rough start, I had hoped to get onions and garlic in the ground already, that has not happened.

Plan

  • 40 Buckets on the roof
  • 4 4x4 beds on the ground

I think my next 3 4x4 beds are not going to be raised. Just dug down and filled with good soil and probably outlined in brick (to keep the lawn mower out). Also, I need to get tomato cages for all the tomato plants.

A big problem I had with the onions last year is that they were overpowered by weeds. Apparently this is a common problem with onions, I want to try countering it by intercropping with the soybeans. Hopefully this will also keep more of the bugs away from the soybeans.

Research intercropping.
