Cucumber bushes are seriously affected by the flora that grows nearby.
A correctly chosen “neighbor” will increase the chances of getting a rich cucumber harvest.
It is desirable to have a plant that can repel pests near a popular vegetable crop.
Aphids, mole crickets and other dangerous insects will no longer pose a threat to cucumbers if garlic grows nearby.
But it's not that simple. There is one important rule, failure to comply with which is fraught with a serious reduction in yield.
This was reported by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to Plant Garlic Next to Cucumbers
These crops should not be planted too close together.
If you violate this recommendation, the growth of cucumbers may seriously slow down.
To ensure that garlic does not harm cucumber bushes and only benefits them, do not plant these two garden crops in the same bed.
But if cucumbers and garlic grow next to each other, but in different beds, then nothing bad will happen.
On the contrary, the chances that the cucumber bushes will produce a huge amount of fruit will increase.
The point is that garlic will provide the plant with protection from dangerous insects. First of all, from aphids and mole crickets.
