I have grown Fava beans near potatos, but what would be interesting would be
trying to find out what the farmers of the Andes grew in association with
potatos. One thing I do know is that they have over 1,2000 named varieties of
potatos and traditional farmers grow many varieties next to each other. that
alone is probably good insurance against disease.

Subject: [permaculture] Potato guild?
Has anyone tried creating a Three-Sisters type guild with potatoes,
perhaps with bush beans and/or peas and then maybe white clover between
the rows?
