Plant these flowers between the tomato rows: you will harvest the vegetable in buckets

The yield of tomatoes depends not only on weather conditions, soil conditions and the amount of fertilizers applied.

An important point is the proximity of the garden crop to certain plants.

Tomatoes don’t get along with some flora representatives, but they make a good pair with others.

There are flowers that will be excellent “neighbors” for tomatoes.

What to plant between tomato rows

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh emphasizes: to increase the yield of tomatoes, it is worth planting marigolds next to this plant.

The presence of these flowers between tomato rows is a guarantee of protection of the garden crop from pests.

The fact is that marigolds repel dangerous insects such as mole crickets and cutworms with their smell.

Thanks to this “neighbor,” tomato bushes also gain protection from nematodes.

It is worth noting that marigolds “eliminate” dangerous creatures at a considerable depth - up to half a meter.

And if there are no pests, then nothing interferes with the growth and development of the plant, as well as fruit formation. In such conditions, the chances of a rich harvest increase significantly.
