Each gardener dreams of a generous crop, especially if the site is small. But how to achieve maximum return from each bed? The answer is simple: joint landings. This technique, tested by time, allows plants to help each other, creating optimal conditions for growth. Some combinations of cultures are especially successful, because they not only save place, but also improve the soil, protect against pests and diseases.
Here are a few proven combinations:
Corn, beans and pumpkin
They get along well together: corn supports the curly beans, it fertilizes the soil with nitrogen, and the pumpkin covers the ground, preserving moisture and not allowing weeds to break through.
Carrots, onions and radishes
The perfect trio for one bed. Onions scare away pests of carrots, and carrots, in turn, protects the crop from the onion fly. Radis, ripening earlier than all, frees space, allowing you to effectively use every centimeter of the Earth.
Cucumbers, dill and peas
An extremely successful neighborhood. Fragrant dill lures the insects-pollinators and useful predators that protect planting from pests. And peas, like other legumes, saturates the earth with nitrogen, providing the nutrition of cucumbers demanding on the soil.
These combinations tested for centuries allow you to get a rich harvest even in a small area. All three cultures help each other grow by saving your strength and place in the garden.
