Gardeners have not yet come to a consensus on whether it is possible to plant cucumbers and tomatoes in the same greenhouse.
But it is known that such a practice exists – some people plant these crops in the same greenhouse.
Let us remember that both crops have special requirements for cultivation.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will tell you whether it is possible to make friends with these plants.
Is it possible to grow tomatoes and cucumbers in the same greenhouse?
Please comply with these conditions.
Plant tomatoes and cucumbers in different beds so that the cucumber shoots do not block the light from the tomatoes.
When planting, do not make the plants too dense so that they do not experience a lack of light during the growth process.
When planting, it is better to add hydrogel to each hole.
Mulch the soil to prevent moisture evaporation.
If a lot of condensation forms on the walls, ventilate the greenhouse. Inspect the plants for diseases and water them according to their needs, not together.
