Due to the ambiguity in the question, I answered this with information about "companion planting" (of which "Three Sisters" is a species), and cited the three components (CSB) and possible companions (i.e. other plants beyond CSB that C or S or B would have a symbiotic relationship with). Also, while I agree that their "Pfeiffer crystallization testing" sounds hocus-pocus-ey, the table itself was based on relationships listed below the cut | |
