The harvest of berries, vegetables and fruits depends entirely on how the summer resident takes care of his plantings.
It is knowledge that determines the success of any event, and then you won’t have to blame all failures on spring frosts, bad soil or someone’s evil eye.
Experienced gardeners told us which plants can be planted under an apple tree and why this is necessary.
In each of these cases, the apple tree will create comfortable conditions for its neighbors, and joint planting will save space on six hundred square meters.
Radish
The vegetable likes to grow in the shade and its root system is not developed enough to cause any harm to the apple tree.
In addition, radish is an early crop and, like any root crop, loosens the soil.
There is no harm from this method of planting.
Cucumbers
It is possible, but on condition that it is a variety or hybrid that tolerates shade well.
These include the varieties "Malysh" and "Prestige", as well as the hybrid "Athlete".
They say that planting together creates optimal conditions for abundant fruiting of both crops.
Currant
They call it an ideal example of the proximity of two fruit crops.
The bush will feel good in the shade under an apple tree, and the tree will also protect it from strong winds.
These crops do not have common diseases and pests, but this does not mean that planting them together eliminates the need for preventive inspections and treatments.
