Continuing our discussion on yields by focusing on annuals, niches, companion planting, and plant guilds, intermixed with various examples from my own life. Again we return to my blueberries and revisit the Three Sisters guild of corn, squash, and beans/peas. As Permaculture is a holistic system, I do run back and forth a bit, as you have probably come to expect.
