Proper crop proximity affects crop yield.
Therefore, if you select suitable neighbors for your plants, you will be able to collect a rich and good harvest.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what can be planted next to bell peppers.
The right place
Pepper does not like to grow in the shade. This plant also does not tolerate drafts.
Therefore, peppers should be planted in places where they will be protected from the wind and receive enough light.
There should be no bushes or trees nearby.
What to plant near peppers
Pepper gets along well with greens. Therefore, you can plant lettuce, green onions, basil, dill and parsley next to it.
Watermelon and melon will be good neighbors for this plant.
These crops will not compete for nutrients. Also, watermelon will help protect the bed from drying out, which is important for peppers.
What you can't plant
Peppers and tomatoes should not be planted next to each other. These plants are susceptible to similar pests and diseases.
Cucumbers are bad neighbors for peppers. Also, you can't plant hot and bell peppers together.
