Many gardeners and summer residents wonder whether onions and garlic can get along together.
Let's figure out whether this neighborhood is suitable for these two vegetables.
Expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh is ready to share her advice with you.
What plants can be planted nearby
Let's start with the fact that both onions and garlic belong to the lily family. It follows that they are susceptible to the same diseases, and therefore are unable to protect each other.
The second argument against such a neighborhood is that onions and garlic need the same lighting.
The third reason not to plant two plants next to each other is that they will definitely compete with each other for moisture and nutrients. This will not turn out well for the garden bed and will end in soil depletion.
What kind of neighborhood is successful?
There are a number of plants that will not interfere with the presence of onions and garlic.
Onions will get along well with radishes, parsley, lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries.
But the best neighbors for garlic are potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes and currants.
