I haven't tried avo's but I've seen it done and it's pretty much the same just bigger

So just seen that the plant is a nitrogen fixer. So could peanuts be a good companion plant along with cannabis then?

I'm not 100% sure but that's my reasoning for growing them and also I have clay soil so they tend to help there for breaking it up a bit.

This is the peanut from the top pic in sept from memory, all the branches spread out and along the branches roots go down and you get peanuts on the ends of those shoots. I'll post a pic when I harvest them but I have to wait for them to die off first. Just in case anyone was interested.

I harvested some of my peanuts today and thought I'd post some pics..They're pretty cool in how they grow. This is one plant at about 3-4 foot wide..

The first two things I would plant on a new block assuming they are not there would be:

Parsley - preferably protected from afternoon sun and under irrigation.
South side of the building is perfect.
Try to source Italian giant parsley as it is more bolt resistant and generally hardier than the bunnings variety.

Next would be comfrey for its ability to penetrate deep undergound and bring up nutrients that can then be used around the garden.

Followed closely by a lemon tree.

Then garlic, herbs, salads and vegies.

Always be looking for a good place to put a pumpkin, like directly into your compost pile.

Parsley also has a deep tap root.

Comfrey is also great for making a liquid tonic for all over the garden - chop bunches of comfrey leaves and place in a 20ltr (or larger) pale and let them stew til they break down - strain, dilute and water in around the garden … plants love it

@Tugboat apparently peanuts are good at fixing nitrogen in the soil but what I have noticed is the reduction in root nematodes since I've been growing peanuts and they have done wonders for fixing up my clay soil, them and compost and worm castings.

I've only heard about comfrey and it's benefits which are many.
