When planning the placement of plants on a plot, gardeners need to consider their influence on each other.

Some crops cannot coexist with each other. And this is due to a number of factors: the leaves and roots of plants secrete chemicals that have both a beneficial and protective effect on other plants, and vice versa.

Therefore, it is better to take a timely look at the crops and distribute them correctly on the site.

Cherry and currant are popular plants that can be found in almost every garden plot. But what is the right thing to do, is it possible to plant these two plants next to each other to achieve maximum yield?

If you are going to plant cherries and black currants next to each other, you should know that these two plants will require soil with different chemical compositions.

This is the main reason why black currants bear fruit poorly and produce meager harvests if the bushes are planted close to cherries.

It is necessary to take into account that blackcurrant roots actively absorb moisture and useful substances from the soil. In addition, it is difficult to process crops if their vegetation periods do not coincide.
