It's better to get rid of them: garden plants that deplete the soil in just one season

All plants take various nutrients from the soil.
But some of them deplete the soil, literally “squeezing” all the juices out of it.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told us which plants in the garden are best to get rid of.
Sunflower and corn
Sunflower has a very powerful root system. Moreover, the roots go not only deep, but also actively spread out in width.
This plant “pulls” a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and potassium from the soil.
Therefore, crops located near sunflowers will grow poorly.
So it is better to place it as far as possible from the garden and in a small area.
The same applies to corn. It also consumes a lot of nutrients from the soil.
Afterwards, it is advisable to add mineral fertilizers to the bed where this plant was grown.
Axillary elderberry
This plant is dangerous both for main crops and for humans.
Some people may have an allergic reaction to the pollen of this plant.
Elderberry can also negatively affect the growth of other plants, slowing it down.
And this does not have the best effect on crop yields.
Previously we talked about how to properly ventilate greenhouses with cucumbers.
