But you shouldn’t plant cabbage after arugula, radish, horseradish and other cruciferous vegetables.

Cabbage can be returned to its previous location only after at least 3 years have passed.

Please note: 20 days after planting, the cabbage needs to be hilled and fertilized. Of course, you can use mineral compounds, but this vegetable responds much more readily to organic matter, so take a closer look at mullein, nettle and other fertilizers.
