Experts have listed plants that are best planted away from zucchini, otherwise there will be no good harvest.
Zucchini is the basis of many summer dishes. Towards the end of the season, many can no longer look at dishes made from zucchini, but in the spring the desire to pick a ripe fruit from the garden and cook something appears again.
The advantage of the plant for summer residents is that it is unpretentious and gets along with many crops. For example, it grows well next to tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, and eggplants.
But some neighbors can still have a negative impact on this crop.
What should not be planted next to zucchini
To avoid losing your harvest, do not plant any plants belonging to the pumpkin family near zucchini. Otherwise, they will compete for water and nutrients.
In addition, zucchini and these plants have the same diseases and pests. For a similar reason, it is worth growing zucchini and cucumbers a little further away.
Another bad neighbor for zucchini is potato. It actively takes away nutrients, preventing zucchini from fully forming fruits. The result can be zucchini with soft, bitter and loose flesh.
