Zucchini is one of those crops that can practically "make you rich" in terms of harvest: it is a very "fruitful" plant.
If you follow the correct growing conditions, you can achieve excellent results.
For example, you can choose neighboring crops correctly, advises the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What can be planted next to zucchini
Tomatoes
If you grow tomatoes in open ground, then the vegetables can be safely placed in neighboring beds. They do not enter into special competition and they have different pests and diseases.
It is worth choosing tall varieties of tomatoes. By the way, zucchini will only benefit from such a neighborhood: it will be possible to reduce the pest population.
Cabbage (various types)
If you calculate the distance between vegetables correctly, you can safely make them neighbors. The only difficult moment is a good root system.
In all other respects, the plants will be able to get along quite well.
Beans
If you like this legume, you can plant it next to zucchini. This will be a good solution. The plants do not compete and have no "contraindications" for the neighborhood.
However, beans should be planted in a separate bed, as they do not need any additional fertilizers.
