Intercropping Staple Crops in a Vineyard! Does it Work?

Last season a major goal of mine was to plant more staple crops for food. In past years, I’ve intercropped vegetables in my vineyard, but this time I decided to try dry beans, since they are a great staple, they’re easy to grow in large amounts, and they can be low growing, which is important to maintaining good air flow in the vineyard. Some of my upcoming videos are going to be showing you how this experiment went in the vineyard.
