- sebcat 4y agoYou need crop rotation for beans at least. To lower the risk of parasites and deceased.
- hosh 4y agoThree Sisters pattern has been generalized as a “guild”, with beans fulfilling the function of a nitrogen fixer growing in the vine canopy layer (using the sturdy corn stalks). Knowing that, wouldn’t you substitute beans with a different nitrogen-fixer at an open canopy slot? Or even, different varieties of beans?
