To get a rich and tasty strawberry harvest, it is important to plant it in the right place.
The proximity of this crop to other plants also plays an important role.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained what needs to be taken into account when planting strawberries.
Where you shouldn't plant these berries
Strawberries require a lot of sunlight, so avoid placing them in the shade under trees or other large plants.
Excessive moisture will also have a negative effect on the quality of the harvest. The berries may be large, but tasteless and watery.
Therefore, for planting strawberries, it is advisable to choose places with a slight elevation.
Planting berries in places where zucchini, cucumbers or potatoes were previously grown will also have a negative impact on the quality and quantity of the harvest.
What plants should strawberries not be planted next to?
It is also important to take into account the proximity to other cultures.
After all, unsuitable plants that grow next to strawberries can deprive you of a good harvest of berries.
You can't plant strawberries near potatoes and tomatoes. Otherwise, they will deprive the soil of useful substances that the berries need.
Bad neighbors for strawberries are plants of the carnation family, cabbage, raspberries and sunflowers.
