This is by far the highest quality beans and corn post I have seen yet. Should be in science memes, not shitpost.

Imagine how long humanity suffered before figuring out that crops have to take turns. Like imagine millennia ago realizing that your crops aint growing because the dirt doesn’t have enough nutrients. And then having to explain to everyone that the crops should take turns it sounds crazy.

I’m a simple man. I see corn, I upvote corn.

I don’t think it’s been proven that the nitrogen the beans/bacteria fix is available to the corn (before the bean plants die and decompose). Though, I have done this (along with squash), and it does seem to work pretty well. I think it gives you more vegetables per sq ft, than if you were to grow them all separately.
