What vegetables or flowers is Sage good to grow next to and why?
Both answers are correct to me. Could you please post a new question as the 3 question was kinda missing
Sage is a dry plant, a dessert type of plan so if you use cacti, or calancho type of flowers they will well with this. Most folks use Sage as a hedge. they're really nice.
it depends on what type of sage you want to use. here in NV, the sage isn't very attractive, but thrives in our desert soil. sage used for herbs cooking can be grown in containers of any size or in a garden. containing the plant is sometimes better as it tends to take off like a weed when well cared for and will choke off other plants.
Green leafy sage is a snails lunch meat. Grow marigolds around your sage and plant sage with other spices and herbs. also sprinkle white vemiculite or cheap kitty litter around the base of the herbs you have planted snails hate marigolds and diatamatous earth like vermiculite or kitty litter snails find this hard to walk over to chew on your cherished spice herbs. The marigolds have a smell most bad bugs hate they contain a high amount of anti snail protection and along with use of the diatamatious type top dressing the plants will enjoy the break from being eaten on and lastly to avoid snails use snail bait only if you cant stop the onslaught from a huge amount of snails. in that event get some copper thin long strips of copper and make cones of three inch around of copper circles glue them into cones like a biscuit cutter of copper then push the circle into the dirt around the plants cause snails hate being electricuted by touching the copper its the best finest but most exspensive way to thwart the snails. The marigolds deter most bettle bugs and snails but even marigolds dont stop every type species of snail. save putting in copper until your last resort. cheers.
