Want to harvest as many cucumbers as possible in 2025?
Then choose a suitable “neighbor” for your garden crop!
There is a plant that is worth planting next to cucumber bushes.
Doing this will greatly increase your chances of getting a double harvest.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told about an interesting dacha trick.
The perfect "neighbor" for cucumbers
It is worth planting peas next to the popular garden crop.
A good option would be to plant beans, which also belong to the legume family.
Peas or beans will enrich the soil with nitrogen, a microelement that cucumbers need.
It is advisable to plant a representative of the legume family along the perimeter of the bed where the cucumber bushes grow.
At the same time, take into account the fact that the vegetable crop needs not only nitrogen, but also other microelements. In other words, do not forget about fertilizing.
What other plants do cucumbers “get along with”?
It is worth noting that legumes are not the only good “neighbors” for cucumbers.
The following plants should also be included in this list: cabbage, corn.
