Do you plant these together with cannabis?
Aloe is an incredibly beneficial plant, and borage is great too.
I broke my pitchfork this evening, so I threw it at a tree. Had just started screening my first of four 3 yard piles of compost!
Catching up here. ...Prolly missed the point of that previous post.... so no not companion crops, those I mentioned are compost plants (nitrogen fixers) that we feed the worm bin with. Like you we also throw in rock dusts, neem cake meal, Kelp meal along with organic green food scraps, coffee grounds etc.
Companion crops I use alfalfa not exclusively but it's my goto cover crop outside and inside for companion in containers. I sometimes grow alfalfa in an empty pot if they are not going to be used, keeps the mircro-herd alive and happy.
We use fresh Aloe for starting seeds, along with Coconut water. I make a mix of those 2 and blend with water and put my seeds in that mix to start them (no paper towels) .. sometimes I do it hydroponically with that mix and sometimes in rooting plugs soaked in that mix (again no paper towels). Both methods are pretty much 100% sprouting and then downhill from there!! Kinda like breaking a pitch fork...
Stinging Nettle - that we harvest and save. We use it for tea for us and teas for the ladies a few times every cycle. We will throw nettle stems and roots in the worm bin but we keep the leaves for us. It's right about time to harvest nettles here where we are right now.
Tomorrow we will go in the woods and harvest a few backpacks full of nettles (with gloves and scissors), sort thru them and hang dry and save the leaves after drying. Nettle tea is extremely beneficial for human consumption. Even the sting is good for you, when you accidentally rub up against it. A few backpacks stuffed with nettles will last us the rest of the year until next spring ... we just ran out last week and will harvest tomorrow. Nettles is a must have in our gardening and living routine.
Nettles are right on par with Neem Cake meal, Kelp Meal and Aloe Vera for MUST HAVE for gardening and living. If you're wondering about neem and living ... its a natural pest deterrent, even the 4 legged versions. By "Deterrent", I'm being kind.
