If the owner of a country plot makes a mistake when choosing a place to plant onions and garlic, nothing good will happen.
The yield of the above-mentioned crops will be very low.
The quality of the collected onions and garlic will also not satisfy the summer resident.
Where can these plants not be planted to avoid the consequences described?
This question was answered by an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Where onions and garlic grew last season
Remember the rules of crop rotation. Do not plant onions and garlic where members of the amaryllis family have grown relatively recently.
If you ignore the recommendation, the plants will face a lack of important compounds, as well as dangerous diseases (gray rot, downy mildew, etc.)
The ideal area for planting onions and garlic would be a place where cucumbers, zucchini or beans were grown last season.
In the area where onions and garlic will be “neighbors”
These crops should not be placed next to each other.
The plants will instantly become “competitors”: both representatives of the flora will lack nutrients and microelements.
In addition, diseases will spread quickly. The fact is that onions and garlic are vulnerable to the same diseases.
Therefore, ensure that bulbous crops grow far apart from each other.
In the shadows
Onions and garlic are not shade-loving crops. These plants need enough sunlight.
Planting bulbous crops in a shaded area will lead to unpleasant consequences.
In the shade, onions will grow small and garlic will be stunted.
