Choosing the ideal place to plant a garden crop is a serious step towards obtaining a generous and high-quality harvest.
This rule also applies to peas.
If a representative of the legume family grows in the "right" area, the harvest will be maximum. In addition, the peas will be juicy.
So where to plant peas? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
The perfect place to plant peas
Select a site that has the following features:
- well lit;
- availability of protection from strong winds;
- loose soil;
- neutral or slightly acidic soil;
- a place where potatoes, corn or beets grew last season. It is acceptable for peas to become the "successor" of cucumbers.
What to plant between rows
So, the ideal place for a representative of the legume family has been chosen.
But it is too early to relax. It is necessary to “help” the plant in a certain way.
It is desirable for the peas to have a good “neighbor”.
The ideal option is mustard. Sow it between the rows. The green manure will not only make the soil more suitable for garden crops, but will also protect the plant from dangerous insects.
