Joint planting of vegetable crops in one bed is practiced not only to save useful space, but also to increase yields.
These are not miracles of ingenuity, but the application of theoretical skills in practice. We will tell you what you need to consider with this type of planting.
Secrets of joint planting
To increase crop yields, you need to select crops that will not conflict for the same nutrients.
And this is not only fertilizers and moisture, but even sunlight.
Another important circumstance: when planting together, it is necessary to exclude the risk of possible infection with the same diseases, and at the same time an attack by the same pests.
Let's plant together
If we talk about tomatoes, then the best neighbor for them would be basil, which will protect the bushes from pests and will have a positive effect on the taste of the vegetables.
Pepper gets along well with basil, as well as with carrots, onions, spinach and dill.
Carrots will grow well together with onions.
Cucumbers grow well together with legumes, as well as beets, lettuce, cabbage, garlic or onions.
It is recommended to plant pumpkin, corn and peas together, and eggplants with beets, cabbage or peas.
Spinach has nothing against potatoes, beets, radishes and turnips, and radishes get along well with peas, cabbage and tomatoes.
