Companion Planting, Part IV: Putting It All Together
Permaculture Guilding and Companion Planting - Upisf
1. Guilds and Companion Planting
Advantages of companion planting:
Flavor enhancement: some plants, especially herbs, seem to subtly change the flavor of other plants around
them. Such as Basil is known to enhance the flavor of tomatoes.
Hedged investment: multiple plants in the same space increase the odds of some yield being given, even if
one category encounters catastrophic issues
Level interaction: plants which grow on different levels in the same space, perhaps providing ground cover or
working as a trellis for another plant
Nitrogen fixation: plants which fix nitrogen in the ground, making it available to other plants
Pest suppression: plants which repel insects, plants, or other pests like nematodes or fungi, through chemical
means
Positive hosting: attracts or is inhabited by insects or other organisms which benefit plants, as with ladybugs
or some “good nematodes”
Protective shelter: one plant type of plant may serve as a wind break, or shade from noonday sun, for another
Permaculture Guilding:
Each of the elements of a guild is performing functions
Each element performs multiple functions
Each function is supported by multiple elements
More diverse, more resilient, more effective design

San Francisco Perennial Vegetables Resource Sheet
The intent of this document it to list low/no maintenance, drought tolerant, fog tolerant, perennial (preferred) or re-
seeding annual edibles and otherwise useful (fuel, fiber, medicinal) crops that could be propagated and prolifically
planted in San Francisco (in backyards, front yards, empty lots, park plots, community gardens, in some cases,
rooftops). This list is intended to focus on plants that would work in all areas of San Francisco, including fog-
inundated west-side (exceptions noted). It is assumed that the value of this list could be enhanced significantly by the
following:
adding more support plants (e.g., nitrogen fixers, esp. perennial legume shrubs and trees)
inventorying existing backyard/park successes (SF Permaculture Guild has Joomla website to do this –
http://www.permaculture-sf.org)
identifying successful companion strategies and polyculture opportunities (including animals)
identifying additional natives with simple/readily applicable edible uses
listing medicinals (the list as of now has few medicinals)
adding additional fowl forage plants (e.g., duck feed, chicken feed plants that require little/no processing)
identifying simple and tasty recipes that anyone can use to easily prepare tasty meals
NOT included on this sheet: Cane berries, many other berries, fruit/nut trees, many fruiting vines, perennial
herbs

King (Desert King)
Light green 'white' skin, strawberry colored pulp. Rich flavor, excellent fresh-eating quality. Large breba (spring)
crop. Later crop is light in hot climates, heavier in coastal climates. Prune only lightly, occasionally. (Heavy winter
pruning removes breba crop.) 100 hours. Self-fruitful. One of the best varieties for the Northwest, Desert King
withstands fruit damaging, late spring frosts better than any other fig we grow. Desert King is very productive and
reliable, producing abundant, yellowish-green figs with sweet and richly flavorful, strawberry colored flesh. Because
it ripens in mid-summer, Desert King is a great variety for gardeners in coastal, high elevation, and other cool regions.

Companion Planting INCREASES Food Production by 250 Percent
One of the goals of research in South Africa is to look at ways to boost food production with the
practice of intercropping (companion planting, or growing crops together) a cereal grain crop, like
sorghum, with bean crops. We have been intercropping sorghum with legumes planted in row of zai
pits.
Why grow beans? Being legumes, bean crops can improve soils by converting nitrogen from the air
into forms that crops can use.
The crops we are working with are quite tolerant of dry conditions and produce vines that cover the
ground, protect6ing it from the intense tropical sun and creating an environments in which soil
microorganisms, can thrive.
Moreover, the legumes provide the farmer with a harvest of dried, edible beans.
What are zai holes? The zai system originated in West Africa as a way to cope with drought and hard
encrusted soil. Drought tolerant grain crops such as sorghum or millet are planted in pits about 12
inches, 6 inches deep.
With the excavated soil thrown to the downhill side, the pits act as tiny water catchment basins,
making maximum use of what little rainfall is received. Several handfuls of manure are traditionally
placed in each pit, concentrating nutrients near the crop roots.
Have we seen any benefits? The results we have so far are from year one of a sorghum-legumes
intercropping strategy within the zai system. Most of the legumes we have tried have grown very
well, but cowpea produced the most dried beans.
It increases total grain production by 1,000 kilograms (250%) from 400 kilograms per hectare
when grown sorghum alone to about 1,400 kilograms per hectare when grown together with
cowpeas.
It also increased soil nitrogen as well as nitrogen taken up by the sorghum plants.
All of this is very encouraging from the perspective of the smallholder farmer, because it means they
have a way to improve their soils while greatly increasing food production.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS in Africa by Using Companion Planting
Across East Africa, thousands of farmers are planting weeds in their maize fields (Companion
Planting). Bizarre as it sounds, their technique is actually raising yields by giving the insect pests
something else to chew on besides maize.
It is better than pesticides and a lot cheaper, said Ziadin Khan, whose idea it is.
And it has raised farm yields by 60-70 Percents.
In East Africa, maize fields face two major pests, and Khan has a solution to both. The first is an
insect called the stem borer. True to its name, it s larvae eat their way through a third of the regions'
maize most years.
But Khan discovered that the borer in even fonder of a local weed, napier grass. By planting napier
grass in their fields , farmers can lure the stem borers away from the maize and into a honey trap. For
the grass produces a sticky substance that traps and kills stem borer larvae.
The second major pest is Striga, a parasitic plant that wrecks 10 billion dollars worth damage on
maize crops every year, threating the livelihoods of one hundred million Africans.
Weeding Striga is one of the most time consuming activities for millions of African women farmers,
says Khan.
But he has an antidote: another weed, called Desmodium. It seems to release some sort of chemical
that Striga does not like. At any rate, where farmers plant Desmodium between rows of maize, Striga
will not grow.
Khan's cheap fixes for Striga and stem borer are spreading like wildfire through the fields of East
Africa.
Trials on more than 2,000 farms are finished. It is out of our hands now, says Khan's boss Hans
Herren , who is the director of the International Centre for Insect Physiology and Ecology in Nairobi.
The ideas are being taken up by framers in countries such as Ethiopia where we have never worked.
Khan's novel way of fighting pests is one of the host of Low-Tech Innovations boosting
production by 100 percent or more on millions of poor Thirds World farms in the past
decade.
This Sustainable Agriculture just happens to be the biggest movement in Third World Farming
today, dwarfing the tentative forays in genetic manipulation. It seems peasant farmers have a long
way to go before they exhaust the possibilities of traditional agriculture
