Many summer residents know that in order to increase the potato yield, it is worth planting suitable crops around the perimeter and between the rows.
This simple action will allow you to get an excellent result.
There are quite a large number of crops with which potatoes can effectively coexist, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What plants can you pay attention to?
Horseradish
Few people know that thanks to the proximity of horseradish, potatoes grow incredibly high-quality and tasty. However, make sure that the horseradish does not grow too much, as the plant has such a negative feature.

You can also grow lettuce, spinach and basil next to potatoes.
Beans
