The carrot harvest depends not only on fertilizing and watering, but also on the place where it grows.
There are crops after which it is better not to plant carrots. There are also not the best "neighbors" for this plant.
An expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, spoke about this in more detail.
The best predecessors
The best predecessors of the orange vegetable are onions, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cabbage, and zucchini.
It is worth remembering that carrots cannot be grown in the same place. In the old area, the crop can be planted only after four years.
Carrots should not be planted after beets, parsley, or fennel.
A lucky neighborhood
The growth of fruits is influenced by "neighbors" in the garden bed. The agronomist advises planting the crop next to onions, tomatoes and legumes.
One of the best combinations is considered to be onion and carrot. The first one repels carrot fly, and the second one repels onion fly.
A number of insects do not like the aroma of marigolds. If you have the opportunity and desire, you can decorate the plantings with these unpretentious flowers. Marigolds can be planted along the edges of the beds.
Earlier we talked about why it is worth planting parsnips in your garden.
