You can lose your harvest if you place the beds incorrectly on the plot. It is important to remember that not all plants can be adjacent to each other.

Some can actively take away nutrients and moisture, while others can attract pests and spread diseases.

In addition, some “neighbors” may ultimately affect the taste of the fruit.

Therefore, you should draw up a planting plan in advance and take these nuances into account.

Beets are not suitable for planting carrots next to each other, as they will take all the nutrients from the soil.

Some newcomers to gardening are sure that carrots "get along" with dill. This is a big mistake. The greens will negatively affect the growth of the vegetable.

It is better to plant onions, spinach or peas next to carrots. In this case, you can count on a decent harvest.
