Problems with growing cabbage sometimes arise not because the gardener is doing something wrong, but because of poorly chosen neighbors.

In the plant world, there is compatibility of crops. For example, cabbage gets along with some plants, but withers and rots next to others.

In such cases, summer residents who have provided cabbage to everyone do not understand what else it lacks. Therefore, they pay attention to the crops that grow nearby.

Cabbage does not tolerate substances that some plants release into the soil. These include tomatoes, beans, carrots, parsley, pumpkin, and grapes. Experienced gardeners have indicated that cabbage never yields a good harvest next to these crops.

Cabbage can be planted in the same place after 2-3 years. Its predecessors can be potatoes, onions, beets.
