Most summer residents actively grow strawberries in their gardens.

The fruits are not only healthy, but also very tasty. The berries make excellent compotes and jams.

But strawberries cannot grow in one place for a long time. After all, over time the soil becomes depleted, diseases and pests can accumulate in the ground, which means that it is better to change the bed.

Here the question of what to plant in place of the berries becomes relevant.

If you remember the main rule of crop rotation, then, as experienced gardeners note, leafy vegetables grow well after strawberries.

Legumes will also take root well, loosen the soil and saturate it with nitrogen.

You can use onions or garlic to drive pests out of your garden beds.

Flowers, such as asters, peonies, daffodils and tulips, will restore the soil and decorate the area.

You can also safely plant zucchini, onions, pumpkin, cucumbers or potatoes. But here you need to take into account that you need to add fertilizers beforehand.
