Hierbas Esotéricas Las hierbas, las flores, toda forma de vida que recubre la tierra, es todavía un mundo por descubrir en gran medida, una faceta que aún permanece oculta a los ojos de los hombres, sobre todo en su aspecto mágico-espiritual. Las plantas y los árboles tienen alma, están habitados y protegidos por espíritus, seres de la naturaleza. Por lo tanto, al acercarnos a ellas o al recolectarlas, debemos hablarles y pedirles permiso, así como a las hadas y duendes que las habitan. El mensaje de las flores es un mensaje de amor y equilibrio que eleva nuestras vibraciones internas a unos estados más sutiles, para conseguir conectarnos con nuestra esencia interna. nothings gonna change my world

The arugula was ready to harvest just when the shallots needed room to grow. In a eureka moment, I realized I had discovered a vegetable companion-planting partnership I could use year after year to make my garden healthier and more productive. The idea of “companion planting” has been around for thousands of years, during which time it has become so besmirched with bad science and metaphysics that many gardeners aren’t sure what it means. Historically, North American and European gardeners have based many of their attempts with companion planting on widely published charts, which were mostly derived from funky chemistry experiments using plant extracts in the 1930s.

It turns out many of the plant partnerships listed in “traditional” companion-planting charts don’t actually work well. Reaping the benefits of companion planting is possible, though, as long as you look to time-tested crop combinations, such as those on our chart below.
