Many gardeners plant onions in the fall for the winter in order to eventually harvest this healthy vegetable from their plot.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about where it is best to plant onion beds.

One factor that must be taken into account is what crops grew here before onions.

Suitable predecessors included cucumbers, peas, beans, peas, cabbage, zucchini, squash, corn and lettuce.

We also got our hands on another list, this time consisting of vegetables after which it is not recommended to plant onions.

These are beets, carrots, tomatoes and garlic.

It is a bad idea to ignore crop rotation rules and plant onions in the same place where they grew before.

If you ignore this information and still decide to grow onions where they should not be, be prepared for various pathogens and pests to accumulate in this place, which means you will not be able to get a good harvest.
