How to get a rich and high-quality harvest of zucchini?
Many summer residents will probably answer this question as follows: “You need to feed and water the plant on time.”
Of course, this is the right approach. But some gardeners forget about another important point - attracting useful and repelling harmful insects.
The most interesting thing is that you can achieve the desired result not only by using special means.
It is enough to choose a suitable "neighbor" for the zucchini - and there will be no problems with pests.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed plants that are worth planting next to zucchini.
Marigold
These flowers repel pests. First of all, we are talking about nematodes, because of the "attack" of which the zucchini harvest may be minimal.
Thanks to marigolds, garden crops also gain protection from aphids.
Nasturtiums
This plant is good because it not only repels dangerous insects (for example, aphids), but also ensures the emergence of pollinators.
Lavender
Plant this plant near your zucchini bed: it will attract the attention of bees, which will also “help” the garden crop.
Earlier, summer residents were told whether it is possible to plant watermelons and melons next to cucumbers.
