Despite the fact that many summer residents have only small plots of land at their disposal, they are not going to give up growing a wide variety of vegetables and herbs on their property.

This is the reason why in many gardens crops grow mixed together.

However, before you plant plants next to each other, you should find out which of them will have a beneficial effect on each other, and which will suppress the growth of their neighbor.

Today we suggest talking about dill - from this article you will learn what you should not plant next to dill.

Basil

Dill is capable of insidiousness: planted next to basil, it will certainly infect it with aphids and dill flies. But not only basil will suffer, but also dill itself: the taste of these crops will deteriorate due to the bitterness and dryness that appears.

Carrot

Dill and carrots growing next to each other will interfere with each other, resulting in a weak harvest and the dill being at risk of being infected by carrot fly.

Watercress

If you don't want the plants to suppress each other's growth, plant dill and watercress at least four meters apart.

What should you do if, out of ignorance, you made a mistake and planted dill next to an unsuitable neighbor?

Firstly, you can transplant any plant, and secondly, decide which of them is more valuable to you and get rid of the “competitor”.
