Companion planting
I've been told that fenugreek is a gooc companion plant for sweetcorn as it provides nutrition and ground cover to prevent weeds. Has anyone heard this or anything like it?

Re: Companion planting
I cant help with your question, but I would be interested to know as I have planted my sweetcorn out and it is barely growing! It looks healthy but very very tiny!

I don't even know what fenugreek the plant is like - I only know the seeds in Asian cooking! Does it grow in our climate(s)?

Re: Companion planting
I know that you can sprout it like bean sprouts - so I guess it would grow here
