One way to increase grape yields is to plant certain crops nearby.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us which plants have a positive effect on grapes.
Firstly, legumes, especially beans, peas and soybeans, go well with grapes.
Among vegetable crops, ideal neighbors for grapes are radishes, onions, and beets. Strawberries are also planted near the vineyard.
Unfavorable neighbors for grapes are tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers and carrots.
It is also not recommended to plant calendula, carnations and bells near the vineyard.
