One of the secrets to a rich raspberry harvest is choosing the right “neighbors”.
You need to make sure that there are plants near the bush that do not take away nutrients from it.
And it’s even better if the “neighbors” not only do not interfere with the development of the main culture, but also act as protectors.
What plants protect raspberries from pests and attract beneficial insects?
Parsley
This greenery has a strong smell that protects raspberries from pests, reports TUT NEWS .
Parsley smells so strong that the smell of the berry is "masked". As a result, dangerous insects do not pay attention to the berry bush.
Basil
The principle of action is the same as in the case of parsley: the bright aroma of basil “deceives” pests.
As a result, insects simply "don't notice" the raspberries. The chances of getting a large number of tasty berries become very high.
Dill
If the goal of the gardener is not only to protect raspberries from pests, but also to noticeably improve the quality of the berries, then beneficial insects should be attracted to the place where raspberries are grown.
We are talking about pollinators. You can "invite" them to the garden bed with the help of dill. The result will be the rapid development of the berry crop and the receipt of a large number of large and juicy fruits.
