What Shouldn't Grow Next to Raspberries: You Can't Find a Worse Neighbor
In addition to fertilizing, treating, pruning and watering, there is one more important item on the raspberry care to-do list.
We will talk about competent neighbors. In many ways, the quality and quantity of the harvest is determined not by the amount of fertilizers and timely care, but also by the plants that are planted nearby.
We will tell you about plants that only spoil everything when growing raspberries. It is because of them that the berries grow small and tasteless.
In fact, the error can be noticed even before the time comes for flowering or fruiting.
Usually, raspberry bushes planted in the wrong place or growing next to the wrong crops grow and develop slowly and poorly.
Then problems with fruiting begin.
Therefore, of the berry crops, neither strawberries nor garden strawberries should grow near the raspberry patch.
Of the vegetable crops and other green vegetation, parsley and radish have the most negative impact on the raspberry harvest.
Ideally, beds and berry patches should be planted at a distance of 7-10 meters from the raspberry patch.
Otherwise, plants will begin to compete with each other for nutrients.
The confrontation will have a negative impact on both the raspberry itself and the opposing crops.
But the most unpleasant thing is that an illiterate neighborhood is fraught with the spread of pests, which, along with them, carry the threat of infecting plants with a variety of diseases.
