00:0012 perfect companion plants to grow with green beans.
00:04Marigolds.
00:06Cheerful marigolds deter bean beetles, aphids, and nematodes,
00:10attract beneficial insects, and boost overall bean resilience.
00:15Corn.
00:16Corn provides a living trellis for pole beans.
00:19Beans fix nitrogen to help feed heavy feeding corn.
00:23Nasturtiums.
00:24Nasturtiums lure aphids and whiteflies from beans,
00:27attract pollinators, and add edible color without becoming invasive.
00:32Carrots.
00:34Carrots nestle beneath beans,
00:36benefiting from nitrogen, minimal light competition,
00:39and staggered growth that optimizes shared space.
00:42Cucumbers.
00:44Cucumbers pair with bush beans, sharing water needs, shading soil,
00:48and balancing pests when combined with marigolds or nasturtiums.
00:53Feets.
00:54Feets underplant well, staying low,
00:56avoiding shade competition,
00:58and capitalizing on bean-enriched nitrogen for lush greens.
01:02Savory.
01:03Summer savory repels bean beetles,
01:05complements bean flavor,
01:07and fits compactly along bed edges as a productive herb.
01:11Lettuce.
01:13Lettuce thrives in shade from pole beans,
01:15occupying early season gaps without competing heavily for nutrients or space.
01:20Zinnias.
01:21Zinnias attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, improving bean pollination while adding upright color
01:27that avoids smothering vines.
01:28Potatoes.
01:30Potatoes and beans complement nutrient use.
01:33Beans enrich upper soil nitrogen, while potatoes mine deeper layers when spaced appropriately.
01:39Radishes.
01:40Radishes germinate quickly, loosen soil around beans, deter some pests, and mature before beans need additional room.
01:48Celery.
01:51Celery's shallow, upright growth suits beans,
01:53potentially deterring aphids while maximizing diversity and productivity in mixed plantings.
