Three Sisters Gardening

I came across this on the ol' interwebs today. It is a Native American trick for companion planting beans, corn and squash. The squash shades the ground and keeps away animals because of the vines, the corn provides a vertical for the pole beans to grow up and the beans provide nitrogen for the squash and corn.

I will have to give this a try because other than my peppers and tomatoes, the three sisters are the only thing left that I have to plant.
