An experienced gardener knows that you cannot grow the same crops in a garden bed for several years in a row.
If crop rotation and crop combination rules are ignored, crop yields are greatly reduced.
You can continue to plant the same plants, but after 2 years, problems may begin in the beds.
Let's look at the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why Crop Rotation and Crop Combinations Should Be Followed
First of all, it is important to understand that when growing the same crops in the garden, diseases and pests characteristic of one type of crop appear.
Because of this, some gardeners even resort to pesticides. But the problem of constant pests is solved by alternating crops in the beds.
Soil health is achieved by neutralizing toxins through the roots of other plants.
It is also necessary to form mixed plantings of crops that grow well nearby. For example, legumes saturate the soil with nitrogen, which cucumbers, corn and potatoes like.
