Four Sister's Planting in the South West. This link takes you to a page with a lot of information about companion planting. If you scroll down one page there is a table of contents which lists the topics, included is (the last link) the appendix: Ancient Companions. This section, as far as I am concerned is the most important for those of us in the dry South West. It explains three versions of the very old concept of the Three Sister's planting of Corn, Beans, and Squash. Two of these regularly included sunflowers on the North side, and one stated explicitly that they mixed and matched all the various cucurbits in the "squash" part of their plantings (summer and winter squash, cucumbers, and mellons). ATTRA stands for Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas - NCAT = National Center for Appropriate Technology.
