Experienced gardeners rarely exchange seeds with their neighbors, and they do the right thing.

Why it is worth following their example is explained by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Why you can't exchange seeds with your neighbors

Firstly, each garden is unique. It is not a fact that the crops that grow well in your neighbors' gardens will yield a good harvest in your garden.

Secondly, it is necessary to take into account that neighboring seeds may be infected with infections.

The best option is to purchase seed material in a gardening store. Store seeds undergo careful processing.

If your harvest is not going well year after year, try other varieties and look into your soil.

It's possible that the plants simply don't have enough nutrients or moisture.
