After harvesting strawberries, it's time to plan for the new season. What can you plant next year after strawberries?
Let's look at several plant options that are great for growing in the second year after strawberry beds.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about the intricacies of crop rotation.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables in agriculture. They will take a worthy place after strawberries, helping to enrich the soil due to their ability to fix nitrogen.
In addition, tomatoes will be able to use the remains of organic fertilizers left by strawberries to their advantage. However, it is important to remember to observe rotation and not to plant tomatoes in the same bed two years in a row.
Legumes
Peas, beans, and legumes are all great soil improvers. They are nitrogen fixers, meaning they can enrich the soil with nitrogen, which is necessary for the growth of other plants.
After strawberries, which use up a lot of nutrients, legumes will help restore the soil and prepare it for the next crops.
Flower crops
If you want not only to improve the soil, but also to create a beautiful garden, you can plant various flower crops after strawberries.
Many of them, such as daylilies, asters, dandelions, have a deep root system, which will help to penetrate deeper into the soil and improve its structure.
In addition, many flowers attract beneficial insects, which act as pollinators and pest controllers.
Green
Spinach, lettuce, arugula and other green vegetables are great to plant after strawberries.
Due to their rapid growth, they will quickly cover the soil surface, preventing weeds from growing.
They will also help restore the growing medium after the strawberries have used up a lot of the nutrients.
It is important to remember that when planning the next year's crops, it is necessary to observe crop rotation.
This will help prevent the accumulation of pests and diseases in the soil. Don't forget to regularly fertilize and water your plants to provide them with optimal conditions for growth and fruiting.
Finally, after harvesting strawberries, you can successfully plant tomatoes, legumes, flower crops or greens.
Each of these plants will bring its own benefit: enrich the soil, help restore the nutrient medium and create a wonderful atmosphere in your garden. Successful sowing and a rich harvest!
