design 2 : berry polyculture BERRY POLYCULTURE The berry polyculture consists of a progression of various berry bushes arranged from tallest to shortest in the northsouth orientation of the greenhouse. In the rows furthest to the north are raspberries and currants, intercropped with several varieties of mushroms depending on the season. Garlic and tansy are used as pestrepelling companion plants. Progressing further to the south, we have gooseberries, blueberries, and lignonberries in successive rows. An additional perennial crop that can be grown together with these berries is rhubarb, since it is both cold tolerant and drought resistant, and can handle the acidic soils preferred by the berries. In peak summer, winter squashes, turnips, and beans can also be planted in between the berries for additional harvests from the same site later in the year. A more detailed design plan can be seen on the following pages. Pagina 38
