Crop rotation rules were not invented for nothing.

Crop rotation is based on the competent selection of predecessors on the plot in order to obtain a high-quality harvest of vegetables and berries year after year.

But what to plant after garlic? After all, it is a popular crop that takes up space in almost every garden.

As seasoned summer residents note, related crops cannot be planted one after another. In this case, pests and diseases will be “transmitted”.

In addition, there will be fewer nutrients in the soil, which means that it will be more difficult to get large fruits.

What to plant after garlic

Useful herbs will feel great in the beds after this spice. For example, you can choose popular greens - dill and parsley.

Green manure will be useful for the soil. Such plants will help suppress the activity of weeds and enrich the soil with useful microelements.

After winter garlic, you can pay attention to hybrid varieties of cucumbers with an early ripening period. Daikon and radish will also give excellent fruits.

It is also worth noting that strawberries take root well in place of garlic.

If you want to decorate your area with bright flowers, then you should give preference to asters.
