What gardeners don’t do in an attempt to increase the pea yield!

Some gardeners apply more different fertilizers, others change their watering strategy, and still others cultivate the soil for a long time.

And yet the result may be disappointing. Moreover, experimenting with fertilizers often leads to a drop in yield.

Therefore, there is no need to take risks. But it is worth taking advantage of the recommendations of experienced summer residents.

It turns out that everything is very simple. The pea harvest will be abundant if the so-called "companion plant" is located next to the legume.

What to plant next to peas

Mustard has a positive effect on garden crops.

Moreover, the influence can be called indirect. Thus, the neighboring plant does not allow weeds to develop, which often displace peas.

In addition, the presence of mustard on the site reduces the likelihood of dangerous pests appearing.

And one more thing: with such a plant “companion”, peas very rarely encounter illnesses.

Thus, thanks to mustard, the yield of legumes is often very high. Sometimes 2 times higher than the standard.
