It is no secret that after onions, other plants need to be planted in the same place.
The right choice of crops can ensure improved soil structure and, as a result, excellent harvests.
In addition, as reported by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , competent crop rotation can protect plants from diseases and pests.
As for onions, their “legacy” in the soil consists of certain substances that can benefit subsequent crops.
And certain representatives of the flora can even improve the structure of the soil or suppress the growth of weeds.
In turn, experienced gardeners told us which plants they plant after onions to get a consistently abundant, high-quality harvest.
Carrot
A wonderful companion plant for onions. Both crops protect each other from pests.
Experienced gardeners advise planting carrots 2-3 weeks after harvesting onions.
Beet
It takes root well in locations where onions were previously “registered”.
Since beets require less nitrogen, they are an excellent choice for crop rotation.
Many experienced growers sow beets immediately after harvesting onions.
Cabbage
It adapts perfectly to the soil where onions previously “lived” and can extract residual nutrients from it.
Experienced gardeners recommend planting cabbage in well-fertilized soil. After onions, of course.
Beans and peas
Legumes enrich the soil with nitrogen, making it more fertile for subsequent plants.
Tomatoes
They can be planted after onions, if only because they are not susceptible to the same diseases.
However, let's not forget that tomatoes love light and warmth.
Before planting, the soil must be thoroughly cultivated and fertilized.
