Some summer residents plant potatoes so that there is space between the rows for another crop.
Why do they do this? To increase the immunity of potatoes, protect against pests and increase the yield.
There are plants next to which potatoes grow wonderfully.
What to plant next to potatoes
A member of the nightshade family, this plant consumes a lot of nutrients during its development.
Therefore, crops that require less nutrition are planted nearby. Otherwise, "competition" with potatoes will begin.
Potatoes grow well between rows with:
1. Leafy greens. Basil, mustard, spinach, mint, coriander are excellent options for crops for sowing between rows.
2. Horseradish improves the taste of potatoes and reduces the risk of developing common diseases.
3. Beans stimulate crop yields.
4. Tasty potatoes grow next to the corn. But it is important that the tall plant does not shade the potatoes. Therefore, corn is planted on the left or right edge of the potato plot.
5. Onions and garlic release phytoncides that repel pests and reduce the likelihood of potato blight.
