With the arrival of warm weather, insects and rodents can attack crops, including raspberries.
To prevent pests from bothering you, you can plant some plants next to the raspberries.
An expert of the MOS SMI portal, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will tell you about which plants can protect raspberries from "uninvited guests".
Mother-and-stepmother
This plant contains a substance that repels pests. In addition, it prevents certain diseases, including spider mite infestation.
Onions and garlic
Bulbous plants can also repel insects. Thanks to onions and garlic, aphids and ants will want to leave the area.
Chamomile
Another successful neighbor can be chamomile. This flower repels scaly beetles and fleas.
In addition, it attracts wasps and bees, which pollinate plants.
Mint
The strong smell of mint is pleasant for humans, but many pests cannot stand it.
Another advantage of mint is that it can be used in cooking later.
