If you want to get strong and tasty vegetables, you should not only remember the rules of agricultural technology and take care of the plantings in time. The point is that it is also very important to follow the rules of crop rotation.
Still, this will prevent a lot of problems during cultivation.
What garden crops can be planted one after another to ensure a good harvest?
Today we will analyze this rule using carrots as an example. This root vegetable is still popular among summer residents. It is not only about the benefits of the vegetable, but also about its taste.
What to plant after carrots
First of all, it is worth noting that after carrots, you can plant this crop again. But experienced gardeners say that this method is suitable only for extreme cases.
After carrots, nightshades will grow well. You can choose potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and so on.
Legumes will also please you with a harvest in such beds. But most often they are used as green manure, since they perfectly loosen the soil and saturate it with nitrogen.
Cruciferous vegetables, onions, garlic, beets and strawberries will also thrive in the beds.
What crops should not be planted after carrots
For umbelliferous plants (dill, cilantro, parsley, caraway) you should choose other beds.
There will be no abundant harvest if after carrots. The fact is that these crops are affected by diseases and pests.
Carrots greatly deplete the soil, which means that pumpkins and melons are unlikely to produce quality fruit.
You shouldn't expect that greens and spices will grow normally after the root crop. We are talking about spinach, coriander, basil, mint or green onions.
