The Grow Network is a global network of people who produce their own food and medicine. We’re the coolest bunch of backyard researchers on Earth! We’re constantly sharing, discovering, and working together to test new paths for sustainable living—while reconnecting with the “old ways” that are slipping away in our modern world. We value soil, water, sunlight, simplicity, sustainability, usefulness, and freedom. We strive to produce, prepare, and preserve our own food and medicine, and we hope you do, too!

I like strawberries with blueberries. I also like comfrey with my fruit trees. It helps shade out the grass. I’m planning on trying a muscadine cultivar growing up my fruit trees. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think it will work. They’d be growing up trees in nature.
I’ve had some unintentional overlap between my Passion flowers and sunchokes. The passion vines climb up the sunchoke stalks and they both die back in the winter. So far, they both seem to be okay with the situation.
For years I grew strawberries and asparagus in the same bed. Lovely.
herb barbara (Barbarea vulgaris) with brassicas, found this helps with whitefly.
