By planting certain plants between potato rows, you can increase its yield.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us which plants help increase potato yields.
Firstly, onions, garlic, dill, lettuce and spinach are suitable for planting between rows of potatoes.
Secondly, cruciferous crops (radishes, radishes, mustard) have a positive effect on potatoes.
If the row spacing is wide enough, you can plant cabbage crops.
Thirdly, potatoes benefit from being planted next to certain types of legumes, in particular bush beans.
If you treat potatoes with chemicals, then you shouldn’t plant green beans and peas.
Also, you shouldn’t plant beans between rows of potatoes, as the crops will compete for nutrients.
