The harvest depends no less on the compatibility of crops in the beds and in the garden than on watering or applied fertilizers.
Experienced gardeners carefully think through their plantings so that plants that would only be harmed by the proximity do not accidentally end up next to each other.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" - a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, listed plants that should not be planted together.
Tomatoes
In addition to peppers, eggplants and potatoes, it is not recommended to plant cabbage beds next to tomatoes.
The best neighbors are parsley, celery, onions and garlic, as well as calendula.
Potato
The same rules apply as with the nightshade family. Also, do not plant cucumbers nearby.
You can use onions and garlic, white cabbage, beans.
Cucumbers
Do not plant zucchini, potatoes or any herbs nearby.
Tomatoes, peas and beans, cabbage, radishes, corn and sunflower go well together.
Cabbage
Strawberries, tomatoes and beans should not be planted next to white and red cabbage.
You can use onions, beets, dill and celery, rosemary and chamomile.
Beet
It does not get along well with beans and spinach, but gets along well with onions, cabbage, lettuce, beans and radishes.
Garlic and onion
They get along with tomatoes, carrots, beets and celery, and from berries with strawberries. It is better to keep peas and beans away from them.
Eggplant
Plant them next to beans, and keep all nightshades and peas away from them.
Pepper
According to gardeners' observations, it is best to keep it separate and definitely not next to beets.
Carrot
Does not grow well next to umbelliferous plants. Grows well with tomatoes, onions, radishes and peas.
Beans and peas
Can be planted with cucumbers, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and radishes.
Beans are not planted with garlic and onions, beets, gladioli. And if we are talking about peas, then potatoes should be added to this list.
Parsley will not grow well next to cabbage, turnips, radishes and dill, and sunflowers should not be planted where potatoes grow.
By planning the beds for several years in advance, a summer resident can not only avoid unfavorable neighborhoods of vegetable crops, but also take into account the rules of crop rotation.
