Some summer residents sometimes forget how important it is to correctly draw up a garden plan.
The fact is that some crops contribute to the raspberry harvest growing small and sour.
What should not be planted next to berries
The worst neighbors can be any trees that are often used for decorative purposes, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
Any tree will simply take water and nutrients from the raspberries, since the root system of such plants is too powerful. Therefore, when adjacent to trees, the chances of a berry harvest will be incredibly low.
Therefore, it is better to plant trees away from berries.
But some other shrubs will not be the best choice for the neighborhood with raspberries. Sea buckthorn is the worst of all. It is believed that the harvest of both crops will be quite mediocre.
Therefore, it is worth making a garden plan so that sea buckthorn and raspberries are located at a sufficient distance from each other.
Also, do not plant coniferous bushes near raspberries. They "pump out" water too actively, which will negatively affect the berries.
