Which gardener would refuse a rich harvest of large onions?

Instead of answering this rhetorical question, the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises simply planting certain plants next to this crop.

And indeed, many experienced vegetable growers themselves notice that when onions are planted next to certain plants, they produce large fruits.

On the contrary, poorly selected neighbors for a culture lead to the exact opposite result.

So, what crops should you choose to plant near your onion beds?

These include carrots, lettuce, beets and tomatoes.

But vegetables such as cabbage, radishes, beans and peas, on the contrary, should be placed away from onions.

Please note: if you have managed to achieve the desired size of the bulbs, do not forget that they must be removed from the ground in a timely manner, since large bulbs, as a rule, quickly begin to rot.
