Strawberries suffer from diseases and pests, which are then passed on to an incorrectly selected replacement crop.

To prevent this from happening, especially when every square meter is not taken into account, the soil must be prepared before planting vegetables or other plants.

Let's figure out how best to use the space freed up after transplanting strawberries.

Restoring the soil after strawberries

1. The best option is mixed plantings - onions, garlic, lettuce, mustard. Marigolds are suitable as flowers.

2. Another option is for summer residents to dig up strawberry bushes with a shovel, turn them over and bury them deeper in the garden bed, cover them with soil and water them with Fitosoprin, and sprinkle the soil with ash on top.

3. Alternatively, you can sow mustard. This can be done in mid-August, and then in September the shoots can be embedded in the soil.

4. In the fall, you can use the former strawberry bed for planting winter garlic.

If the soil is allowed to rest until the new season, pumpkin and other related crops, such as squash or cucumber, can be planted in the spring. You can also plant lettuce, peas or cabbage.
