Corn and sorghum thrive alongside various companion plants, with beans and squash being its versatile partners. Most bean varieties and squash can complement corn and sorghum, creating a harmonious garden ecosystem. However, they truly excel when planted alongside cowpeas. These legumes not only provide nitrogen but also act as effective weed suppressors, keeping the garden floor clear of unwanted growth that tends to encroach on corn and sorghum. This natural partnership enhances the growth and productivity of these plants while reducing the need for weeding and maintenance.
