Test your knowledge: what shouldn't grow with strawberries - you'll ruin your entire berry harvest
Strawberries are non-conflict crops, but this does not mean that you can plant everything next to them.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us what should not grow next to a strawberry bed.
What is not planted near strawberries
Firstly, strawberries should not be placed next to nightshade crops (tomatoes, potatoes).
They draw nutrients from the soil that strawberries need and spread late blight.
Secondly, strawberries will bear fruit poorly next to blackberries and raspberries, they have the same pests and diseases.
In addition, Jerusalem artichoke and sunflowers are not planted next to strawberries, as they shade the berry bush.
Earlier, the expert told how to feed trees in the spring for a large harvest and tasty fruits.
