Crop rotation affects not only the yield of vegetable crops, but also the general condition of the fertile soil layer.
If you ignore this simple rule, you will have to fight diseases and pests, and also think about how to restore the soil. Such mistakes cost gardeners very dearly.
We'll tell you what to plant where eggplants grew last year.
Secrets of crop rotation
Eggplants, tomatoes and peppers belong to the same nightshade family as potatoes. For this reason, these plants should not replace each other in the beds.
Unlike all related plants, eggplants also require favorable temperature conditions, otherwise they may not bear fruit.
But at the same time, this crop does not deplete the soil as much.
And in order to harvest the “blue ones” in the old place, you will have to prepare the soil for this in advance by adding appropriate fertilizers.
The rest will remain to select suitable replacement crops.
What to plant after eggplants
Onions and garlic will grow best in this place. Any pumpkin crops will grow well, and among greens, cilantro, spinach, parsley and dill.
Carrots, beets, radishes and horseradish produce good harvests.
