I'd like to plant peas in a teepee shape, however there's obviously gonna be a lot of soil left in the middle. Would it be good to plant spinach there as a companion plant or will it be too shady? Any other suggestion for a companion plant in the middle of this pea teepee? Thanks, Ida
It's my understanding that pea plants provide nitrogen to the soil, and that spinach thrives on nitrogen. It'll thrive if you plant the spinach next to the peas as well- you don't have to use the space underneath. The main reason I don't use the space underneath is that I don't want to crowd the plants and reduce the nutrients. If both of your plants thrive I hope you'll post photos!
