Some crops can be grown in beds for two or even more seasons in a row, especially if they are perennial plants.
However, there is a group of crops that should be grown in a new location every year.
It’s not just that they deplete the soil, but also that diseases and pests “get used” to a permanent location.
Let us pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What crops should be planted in a new place every year?
These are the plants:
Cucumber. Refers to the category of "gluttonous" crops. Often susceptible to diseases. Cucumbers are best planted after legumes, nightshades or umbellate crops.
Cabbage. After the vegetable, the soil is filled with phytopathogens and toxins, as well as pests. New heads of cabbage can be grown after potatoes in a year.
Carrot. The vegetable draws the maximum amount of nutrients from the soil. It is also subject to attack by carrot flies and leafhoppers.
