Not all crops grow well in cucumber beds, because they greatly deplete the soil.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us which plants are strictly forbidden to plant after cucumbers.
What is not planted after cucumbers
In no case should you plant in a bed where cucumbers, squash and pumpkins previously grew.
These are related crops with similar soil requirements.
Squash and pumpkins planted after cucumbers, as well as melons and watermelons, will experience a deficiency of nutrients.
After cucumbers, it is best to plant so-called intermediate crops.
These include mustard, rye, lupine, rapeseed, oilseed radish, and vetch.
It is especially useful to plant legumes and cruciferous vegetables after cucumbers.
Root vegetables, bulbous vegetables, and leafy vegetables also grow well in cucumber beds.
Previously, we talked about which plants can be planted in one area for several seasons in a row.
