Is it possible to plant tomatoes and cucumbers in the same greenhouse: here's how to grow them together correctly
Tomatoes and cucumbers are popular crops, but growing them in the same greenhouse can be difficult.
The problem is usually that their watering conditions are different. Mistakes cannot be made, the crops are fragile and capricious.
For example, cucumbers need more frequent watering and high humidity, but tomatoes need to be watered less often, but more abundantly.
Humidity should also be lower, otherwise the tomatoes may get sick.
Therefore, the greenhouse should be ventilated more often. This also helps to get rid of condensation, which provokes the appearance of fungus.
We must not forget about mulch, which should prevent moisture evaporation and increase humidity. Freshly cut or slightly dried grass, sawdust, hay or straw will do.
Next, you need to plan the placement of plants in the greenhouse.
Tomatoes still need much more sunlight.
Vegetables should be planted at a distance from each other.
