Borage (Borago officinalis) is another useful companion crop that adds a more striking look to your garden.

Its lavender-colored flowers grow continuously throughout the growing season. Its younger shoots and beautiful flowers can be eaten in salads. The flowers are pungent and add a special touch to any wok-cooked recipe. Pregnant women are not recommended to consume this plant.

Borage is very hardy and grows without problems in almost any environment. It improves the quality of marijuana plants by providing the soil with vitamins and minerals. Strawberries get along very well with borage and gives them a much more intense and juicy flavor. The small flowers attract predatory bees and wasps, which will repel or feed on unwanted fauna such as cabbage worm and whitefly larvae.

The mineral content of borage is so high that it will make an ideal mulch for your soil. Once the leaves wilt they can be sprinkled near the base of other plants. Rich in potassium, calcium and vitamin C, borage improves the quality of the compost with its supply of vitamins and minerals. Your marijuana plants will benefit from the progressive release of natural potassium and calcium, which will encourage a completely healthy cellular development.
