If you want to get a good harvest, it is important not only to water the plants and check them for pests and diseases.
The point is that the situation can be improved if you choose the right “neighbors” in the beds.
However, some plants have a positive effect on neighboring crops and help prevent problems from arising.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, provided more details.
What to plant next to garlic
A good neighbor would be tomatoes.
Garlic protects plants from aphids, spider mites and late blight. But do not plant too close to each other. The optimal distance between plantings is 0.5 m.
A good harvest can be obtained if you plant dill, parsley, strawberries, cabbage or cucumbers nearby.
Roses and tulips will also delight with their blooming in such a neighborhood. Calendula will protect the vegetable crop from pests.
What to plant next to onions
Onions should not be grown next to garlic. Other plants are great neighbors. For example, dill and greens, cucumbers and strawberries.
A good harvest can be obtained if you plant radishes next to onions. After all, onions repel pests and can also have a positive effect on the taste of radishes.
Earlier we told you how to sow radishes correctly.
