Which Garden Plants should never be planted nearby?
Novice gardeners are often faced with the problem of plant incompatibility.
The area for planting is in any case limited, you want to grow a lot, but how to place it? If you do not know the rules of compatibility of garden plants, serious problems can arise.
I am telling you which plants should never be planted next to each other.
- For the apple tree, the following plants will be bad neighbors. Rowan and viburnum - they are attractive to pests that affect the apple tree. Viburnum, in addition, takes a large amount of moisture from the soil and the apple tree lacks it. Do not place lilacs, cherries and cherries nearby. These plants consume a lot of resources from the soil and the apple tree withers.
- In no case should pear trees be planted next to walnuts, barberries, cherries and cherries. Pears have a lot of common pests and diseases with barberry, so the plants will exchange them and get sick. And the pear itself has a bad effect on cherries and cherries, literally poisoning them with its proximity.
- Apricots, black currants, raspberries and all varieties of apple trees are never planted near cherries. The root system of the apricot poisons the soil with toxic substances that will harm the cherry. The currant takes too many nutrients for itself, leaving nothing to its neighbor.
- Apricot trees should be planted next to any kind of nuts, pear, peach, plum, sweet cherry, cherry and mountain ash. Nuts poison the apricot, with the rest of the apricot plants the same diseases and pests. In addition, they will mutually take resources from each other and wither away.
- Black currants cannot stand the neighborhood with bird cherry and gooseberry - they will mutually infect each other with pests. In general, any variety of currants is best placed alone - this plant is aggressive to almost all neighbors.
- Sea buckthorn should be planted away from any other plant as it is aggressive. Next to her, only garden strawberries feel good, but they have common diseases.
- It is better not to plant black currants, pears, apple trees and raspberries near the plum. They will compete for nutrients and moisture, which will seriously harm their growth and yield.
By planting the "wrong" plants together, you can nullify their productivity or contribute to the development of diseases. Use this memo, then this problem will not arise.
