They say that after strawberries the soil is thoroughly depleted and not every crop in this place will produce a decent harvest the following year.

And then there are diseases and pests that the berry bush can leave behind as a keepsake. Therefore, the rules of crop rotation need to be known simply by heart.

If there are concerns that something will not go according to plan, the easiest thing to do is to plant onions. Some gardeners insist that these should be exclusively root vegetables.

Carrot

This is truly the best option. It is not afraid of diseases and pests that can remain after strawberries. And this crop is able to consume the necessary nitrogen from the air.

Legumes

They will help to replenish the lack of nitrogen in the soil and will also give a good harvest. As a result, it will be possible to thoroughly prepare the soil for planting vegetables and not be left without supplies.

Melons, squash and cucumbers

They can be planted provided that fertilizers are added, otherwise none of these crops will produce a good harvest.

Garlic

This is a natural antifungal agent. It can repel parasitic insects. It will be good to add parsley, dill and celery between the rows. This will help to get rid of worms.
