An Unlucky "Neighbor" for Carrots: This Green Will Suck All the Juice Out of the Root Vegetable
It is better to plant these two plants far from each other, so as not to be disappointed with the harvest later.
Some cultures get along well next to each other. Others, on the contrary, cannot develop normally when an unsuccessful "neighbor" is chosen.
Dill and carrots
Experienced gardeners never plant dill in a carrot bed. This ubiquitous greenery has a negative effect on the development of the root crop.
Dill takes away the strength of carrots. As a result, the underground part of the vegetable, which is the basis of many salads, grows small and unsightly.
Many summer residents share their experiences, and agronomists confirm that carrots and dill are incompatible.
Dill is a spicy plant. The greens actively release essential oil substances into the soil. These root secretions can suppress the development of carrots.
Carrots get along well with onions. They create a successful tandem, protecting each other from pests. Thus, onions protect their "neighbors" from carrot flies, and carrots keep onion flies away. In addition, tomatoes, beans, radishes or garlic can be planted next to the root crop.
