The goal of every summer resident who has started growing strawberries is to get a bountiful harvest.
I want to collect as many berries as possible. And it is desirable that all the fruits are juicy and have a wonderful taste.
To achieve this result, the owner of a country plot must ensure that the plant receives enough moisture and nutrients.
In addition, the crop must be protected from pests and various diseases.
It would also be desirable for the strawberry to have an ideal “neighbor”.
The list of "companion plants" that are great for garden strawberries was compiled by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Ideal neighbors for strawberries
It is worth planting any of the following vegetables next to the plant:
- peas;
- radish;
- carrot;
- beans.
These crops have a positive effect on soil fertility.
In addition, these plants “help” strawberries to properly absorb important compounds and microelements.
These vegetables also help protect garden strawberries from dangerous insects and diseases.
Of course, all these circumstances increase the chances of getting a large number of tasty and sweet berries.
Spinach is also a good companion plant for strawberries: this representative of the amaranth family protects garden strawberries not only from pests, but also from weeds.
