If you plan to harvest a good crop of excellent quality potatoes, then you will have a lot of work ahead of you.
First of all, it is worth deciding after which plants the crop should be planted.
As it turns out, the choice is quite rich, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer.
If you grew a large amount of onions last year, then its bed can be safely used to grow potatoes. It is believed that there will be no pathogenic flora in the soil.
Potatoes also grow well after zucchini. You shouldn't expect any "surprises" from them in the form of potential diseases and pests. Zucchini also have a positive effect on the structure of the soil.
Potatoes can be planted after legumes, as the bed will be rich in nitrogen. Pumpkin is also considered an excellent predecessor: the soil after it remains of high quality.
After garlic, the soil also remains "clean", so nothing will interfere with a good potato harvest.
