Mixed plantings are very relevant, as they help not only to save space, but also to significantly increase crop yields.
Tomatoes are a very important vegetable in any garden, so it is worth choosing the right "neighbors" for the crop.
What crops should be planted next to tomatoes
Marigold
If you intend to collect a large harvest of vegetables, then Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist, recommends choosing marigolds.
Flowers will help to significantly reduce the concentration of pests and help prevent some diseases.
To improve the taste
Not all gardeners know that you can improve the taste of tomatoes with a simple trick: you just need to plant some special plants next to the vegetables.
Spinach and basil are most often chosen for this purpose. You can also try planting regular lettuce.
Pepper
This union will be useful for peppers, since tomatoes will protect the vegetable from aphids. Tomatoes themselves feel quite good next to such a neighbor.
