What grows well in the garden bed after Potatoes. Grow your crops without any problems
Potato beds occupy a hefty area on the site and it is natural that zealous owners want to fill it with something after harvesting root crops.
Guided by my own experience, based on botanical "experiments", I figured out which crops bear fruit best after potatoes and I think my positive experience can be useful to many gardeners!
All varieties of garlic and onions are a universal option, they are unpretentious, grow quickly, and are always useful for seasonal dishes on the table or for winter preparations. You can also pay attention to other greens - celery, arugula, spinach.
I also want to emphasize that potatoes are the most "voracious" crop, that is, after it the soil is depleted and in particular there is not enough potassium and phosphorus.
Therefore, it is necessary to compensate for their loss by introducing fertilizers. Potassium sulfate and superphosphate, 10 g per square meter of planting, can be a good choice.
According to the rules of crop rotation, adopted back in the 19th century, umbellate grows well after potatoes, which means that you can take seeds:
· Parsnips;
Fennel;
· Carrots;
· Root parsley;
Dill.
These are such viable plants that pre-sowing fertilization can be ignored for them.
Corn can also be planted, theoretically, but in my opinion this crop is the best yield demonstrates only when grown in a "clean" place, that is, since the beginning of the season, nothing has been busy.
You can break beds with late-ripening radish varieties in place of potatoes, the main thing to remember is that most radish varieties are the second half of summer needs a reduced daylight hours, for which plantings in the late afternoon are covered with "breathing" non-woven material.
If the potato was seriously ill with something, but the crop was saved, then in order to avoid problems with subsequent plantings, it is best stop the choice on cabbage of any variety, since this culture is practically not capable of becoming infected after potatoes by any disease.
Personally, I also really like to plant legumes after potatoes, for example - peas with beans.
They not only bring an appetizing harvest, but in autumn the green mass that is not needed for the table can be embedded in the ground, using it as fertilizer.
The fact is that all legumes are the best green manure, restoring the balance of healthy microflora in the soil and saturating it with nitrogen.
