My Edits That I Made To The Three Sister (Agriculture) Page

My edits from information i got from https://www.agfoundation.org/news/the-three-sisters  :

I added in the second paragraph:


 * “According to Native American legend, these 3 crops are inseparable sisters who can only grow and thrive together. “


 * I added a picture in between the topics Maya Culture and Iroquois Culture with the caption “The three sisters helped each other grow by supporting backbones from their stems to help the beans grow, as well as, supporting nutrition for each other.”

Added the heading how to grow and underneath put:

“People still to this day grow The Three Sisters together. It is an effective way to grow crops since they help each other grow. Here is an effective way one can grow The Three Sisters.”


 * To try them in your garden, in spring, prepare the soil by adding fish scraps or wood ash to increase fertility, if desired.
 * Make a mound of soil about a foot high and four feet wide.
 * When the danger of frost has passed (see local frost dates), plant the corn in the mound. Sow six kernels of corn an inch deep and about ten inches apart in a circle of about 2 feet in diameter.
 * When the corn is about 5 inches tall, plant four bean seeds, evenly spaced, around each stalk. About a week later, plant six squash seeds, evenly spaced, around the perimeter of the mound.
