Whether zucchini will produce a good harvest depends, among other things, on what crops are growing nearby.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert from the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, talks about the worst neighbors for zucchini.
What should not be planted next to zucchini
It is strictly forbidden to plant zucchini in the same bed or next to other crops from the pumpkin family.
These include pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, melons and watermelons.
They have common diseases and pests with zucchini. The crops will also compete for food and cross-pollinate.
Another bad neighbor for zucchini is potato. With such a neighborhood, zucchini will lack nutrients and moisture.
In addition, the proximity to potatoes makes the zucchini loose and worsens their taste.
