Thanks to this, the quality of the harvest can be significantly improved.

What can be planted next to a popular vegetable

Any legumes

It is important to remember that planting legumes in close proximity to cucumbers will help saturate the soil with sufficient nitrogen.

Thanks to this, cucumbers will develop much better, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.

Marigold

If you want to protect your crops from insects without using specialized preparations, you should simply plant marigolds nearby.

Tansy has a similar effect, so don’t rush to get rid of the weed.

Corn and sunflowers

These plants are believed to have a beneficial effect on the development of cucumbers. However, their size should be taken into account: make sure that large sunflowers and corn do not block the flow of sunlight.
