Not all summer residents know that there is an incredibly simple way to increase apple yields.

All that is required to do this is to leave some plants under the trees.

What to look out for

Clover

This plant can become an excellent plant "carpet" that visually improves the appearance of the site. Also, the unpretentious culture significantly improves the condition of the soil.

Clover is a green manure crop, reminds Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist. This easily explains its positive influence on the development of other plants and the saturation of the soil with oxygen.

Tansy

This weed can often be found on the plot or in the vicinity of the dacha. You can pick tansy and just leave the plants under the apple tree.

This simple action will help protect against many pests that cannot stand the smell of the plant.

Tansy is most effective for protection against aphids and codling moths.

Celandine

If this weed has grown under an apple tree or in close proximity to the tree, then there is no need to touch it: celandine does more good than harm.

For example, thanks to celandine, the apple tree will be reliably protected from aphids. Celandine also repels other pests. It is also believed that the plant becomes an excellent source of nitrogen for the soil.
