Planting garden and horticultural crops should be approached carefully.

It is advisable to calculate everything in advance.

However, some plants can harm each other, which means they can deprive each other of the harvest.

But we must remember that some plants also help to obtain excellent fruiting. It is important that their root system is different.

For example, if we are talking about an apple tree, then we need to choose crops with a small root system as "neighbors". This could be celandine, which protects against aphids and saturates the soil with nitrogen.

Tansy also helps the apple tree. It is a natural insecticide. If you make an infusion of dried flowers and leaves and then treat the tree, you can get rid of the codling moth and other parasites.

Clover is excellent at saturating the soil with nitrogen.

It would also be a good idea to plant marigolds, hosta and peonies nearby. In this case, you can not only protect the apple tree from diseases and pests, but also decorate the garden with lush and beautiful flowers.
