WHAT CAN BE PLANTED CARROTS: IS IT GOOD COMPATIBILITY WITH DILL, WITH WHICH NEIGHBORS CAN YOU NOT SOW THE ROOT CROP IN THE OPEN FIELD ON THE SAME BED OR BETWEEN THE LANES?

Before planting seeds and shoots in the garden, it is necessary to consider a plan for their location in the beds. Some plants help carrots grow larger and tastier, others, on the contrary, harm. To make the fruit large, juicy and useful, follow the rules of compatibility of the root with other cultures.

Further in the article it is described in detail about which crops it is desirable to combine carrots, and next to which planting should be avoided. You will learn about the consequences of the wrong combination of vegetables in the garden and how to correct mistakes.

The importance of competent selection of neighbors

If you plant it next to other root crops that need the same minerals, the plants will lack nutrients. They will grow small and dry. It is not recommended to plant near carrots plants that attract the same pests. This will completely ruin the harvest.

It is impossible to plant crops on one row of crops that spoil the taste of fruits growing alongside, to give them bitterness, acid or an unpleasant taste.

There are plants that, on the contrary, have a beneficial effect on the taste and quality of carrots, drive off pests, give it sweetness and juiciness. They can be planted through a row with a root crop, keeping a distance of 10-25 cm.

Which vegetables have a good carrot and poor compatibility?

What crops will be useful next door in the open field and why:

Bow - this plant exudes esters and phytoncides into the air, which scare away carrot flies and root mites. The root crop helps protect onions and garlic from moths and onion aphids.
Garlic - also helps protect the fruit from flies. Garlic releases antifungal substances into the soil, protecting the root crop from rotting. Carrots enrich the soil with enzymes to form large heads.
Legumes - Give the root vegetables a sweet taste.
Tomatoes - enrich the soil with nitrogen, helping carrots grow large and juicy.
Greens (lettuce, sage, spinach) - give a flavor and sweet taste.

The following plants will not harm the neighborhood:

cabbage;
broccoli;
turnip;
swede;
radish.

What plants can not be planted on the same bed:

Dill - This plant is related to the root and requires the same nutrients. Growing nearby, they attract harmful insects that destroy the crop. The same rule applies to parsley, celery, anise, fennel.
Beet, horseradish - These roots are larger than carrots and will take away most of the nutrients.
Apple tree - The fruits of both cultures will be bitter.
Horseradish - This root grows deep into the ground, releases substances that spoil the taste of carrots and takes all the minerals it needs.

It is useful to plant along marsh roots with marigolds or marigolds. Their scent will scare away flies and aphids.

Planting on the same bed with a root crop and between rows

Gardeners with a small area of land use mixed landings. If you follow the rules of crop compatibility, the crop will be abundant.

In order for the onions and carrots to get along on the same bed, they should be planted through a row at a distance of 15 cm. First, onion seeds are sown, after 2 weeks a root crop.
There are 2 ways to plant carrots with radishes or turnips on the same bed. Seeds can be mixed and poured into a prepared trench. Cultures can also be planted by alternating rows at a distance of 10-15 cm.
Greens can be planted between the rows, scattering seeds across the garden.
For legumes or tomatoes, it is better to select a separate garden next to the carrot. If you plant them closer than at a distance of 50-60 cm, then their tall bushes will cast a shadow and the tops of the root crop will be left without sunlight.
Planting dill or celery on the same bed can be, if you divide them in rows of onions or garlic. It is important that the distance be at least 30 cm. So they will not attract flies and take away nutrients from each other.

Consequences of the neighborhood violation

An illiterate approach to sowing vegetables will lead to a decrease in the quality of the crop or its death:

If you plant a number of crops in need of a different mode of irrigation, the root crop will either rot or dry.
Vegetables competitors will pull from the soil nutrients and carrots grow shallow and tasteless.
Some plants attract the same pests. If you leave them to grow together, the harvest will not be able to save.
Planting incompatible cultures degrades the taste qualities of both.

What to do in case of errors?

If it happens that the carrot is planted with a forbidden plant, it is necessary to take action as soon as possible. This can help save not all, but part of the harvest. For example, dill, parsley and other spices are pulled immediately after they are grown. They are ready for use in cooking. If the root crop is planted next to an apple tree, then you will have to sacrifice the root crop. Otherwise, next year the apples will have a bitter aftertaste.

It should be remembered that repotting carrots is not recommended. When digging, part of the root remains in the soil and the fruit begins to grow, taking an irregular shape. From this fruit lose their taste and beneficial properties.

If the carrot is planted next to the beet, you should transplant the second one. This should be done carefully, pulling out the beets with a lump of earth. From horseradish to get rid of it will not succeed. You can leave the carrots next to him, but her taste will be bitter.

Compatibility of carrots with other vegetables in the garden has been identified empirically over time. Today, gardeners plant root next to the right plants to grow a rich, tasty and healthy harvest.
