Garlic is not “friendly” with these crops: where the plant should never be planted

When planting garlic, it is important to take into account one key nuance that will largely determine the future harvest.

Fertilizing, watering, weeding, pest control and other work will be in vain if you do not take into account the rules of crop rotation.

There are a number of plants that garlic does not like. This means that the beds after these crops are better given over to other plantings, and look for another place for garlic.

Among the "predecessors" that garlic does not tolerate are carrots. Experienced gardeners have noticed that garlic grows small heads if it grows on a plot after an orange root vegetable.

This is explained by the fact that carrots saturate the soil with oils, which have a negative effect on garlic.

You can't plant garlic in the same place year after year. You can replant the crop in the same bed if at least 3 years have passed.

Experienced gardeners do not recommend planting garlic after onions and flowers. When choosing a place for a bed, gardeners follow a simple rule. Alternate plants whose fruits are underground with crops that grow "up".
