Planting vegetables together in one bed is used not only to save space on the plot, but also to increase the yield.

Belnovosti online publication expert, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about which plants will not conflict with each other and share the resources necessary for growth and development.

So, basil can be placed near tomatoes. The double benefit is that it improves the taste of tomatoes and protects tomato bushes from pests.

Use basil to "keep company" with peppers, carrots, spinach and dill.

By the way, carrots and onions can easily grow in the same garden bed.

Wondering what to grow with cucumbers? Take a closer look at legumes, beets, lettuce, cabbage, garlic, or that same onion.

Pumpkin, corn and peas can also be great neighbors.

Eggplants will enjoy growing alongside beets or cabbage. Alternatively, plant peas nearby.

Finally, spinach will be a faithful companion and comrade for potatoes, radishes, beets and turnips, while peas, cabbage and tomatoes will get along well with radishes.
