Mixed plantings: choosing the best neighbors for crops. Is it possible to plant vegetables in the same garden - neighborhood and compatibility Best neighbors in the garden

Joint planting of plants, taking into account their compatibility, allows you to increase the yield. In case of incompatibility (suppression) - yields are reduced.

Compatible plants:

Cherry - raspberry.

for beans the most favorable neighbors are cucumbers. Therefore, it is recommended to plant beans around cucumber beds. Beans go well with mustard, potatoes, radishes, radishes, sweet corn, spinach. The inclusion of beans in the plantings of these plants improves the nutrition of the latter with nitrogen. Fragrant basil, planted next to beans, reduces damage to them by the bean weevil. Other useful herbs for beans: borage, oregano, rosemary, yarrow.

On the grape radish and oilseed radish have a beneficial effect.

Parsley heals vineyards affected by phylloxera.

Relationships of mutual assistance were noted in peas with carrots, cucumbers, and turnips. Peas grows well between the rows of these crops, and, like all legumes, enriches the soil with nitrogen. Mustard repels pea codling moth from peas and inhibits weeds. Peas are also compatible with oats and celery. Tomatoes secrete biologically active substances that stimulate the development of peas. Mustard root secretions (in mixed crops) stimulate the growth of peas.

On the strawberries beneficial effect: bush beans, parsley, spinach. Garlic - protects. Parsley, planted in the aisles of strawberries - repels slugs. Strawberries can be combined with cabbage, onions, radishes, radishes, lettuce, beets, garlic. Of the herbs, borage (orypechnaya grass) and sage work well for her. Mulching the soil during the formation of fruits with spruce and pine needles significantly improves the taste of strawberries.

White cabbage prefers lettuce, onions, celery, dill, bush beans, radishes and even potatoes as neighbors. Dill, planted between rows of cabbage, improves its taste and repels caterpillars and aphids. Celery protects cabbage from ground fleas and cabbage flies, but attracts cabbage whites with its smell, which means that it is undesirable to place them together. Cabbage is also favored by the proximity to borage, which has a good effect on cabbage and drives snails away with its hard, hairy leaves. A very good accompanying crop for cabbage is lettuce (all types). It also protects it from the earthen flea. Cabbage is in great need of protection from a variety of cabbage butterflies that lay their eggs on its leaves. This role can be played by aromatic herbs, strong smell masking the smell of cabbage. Therefore, it is recommended to plant hyssop, mint, wormwood, chamomile, savory, sage around plantings of cabbage. Leek repels cutworm caterpillars. In the aisle of cabbage, it is appropriate to plant marigolds, nasturtium, marigolds - they repel aphids, cabbage and carrot flies, whites. Pasternak attracts predatory insects destroying caterpillars. Head lettuce, celery onions, and beets are compatible with broccoli. Undesirable for cabbage: tomatoes, beans, carrots.

Potato gets along well with eggplant, cabbage, corn, onions, spinach, beans, horseradish, garlic and mint. Potatoes protect the beans from bruchus, and the beans feed the potatoes with nitrogen. The above plants complement each other favorably, as they take moisture and nutrients from different soil horizons. When growing potatoes in mixed culture with compatible plants, it gets sick less and grows in one place for many years, with a stable yield. Potatoes are not indifferent to cabbage, onions, carrots, radishes, lettuce, dill, garlic. The best partners for potatoes are beans, bush beans and spinach. Beans planted between the rows of potatoes enrich the soil with nitrogen and repel the Colorado potato beetle. Potato goes well with cabbage, especially with colored kohlrabi, corn, radish and different types lettuce, Horseradish planted in bushes on a potato plot has a beneficial effect on potatoes. The Colorado potato beetle is repelled by marigolds, catnip, coriander, nasturtium, and tansy. Phytoncides of onion and garlic quickly destroy the pathogenic potato fungus - late blight.

Corn belongs to plants demanding nutrition, so it goes very well with both bush and climbing beans, for which corn is a support. Corn is combined with beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, early potatoes, lettuce. Cucumbers are recommended to be planted around corn plots. In terms of allelopathy, corn is a very friendly plant for many crops. It has a beneficial effect on potatoes, sunflowers. Corn is compacted with zucchini, pumpkin, as well as beans or peas, for which the corn stalk serves as a support. Peas and beans contribute to the accumulation of nitrogen in the soil. Soy protects corn from bugs-turtles Bad neighbors for corn - beetroot and celery

Onions and carrots protect each other from pests: carrot scares away onion fly, and the onion is a carrot fly.
Onions are combined with strawberries, watercress, cucumbers, radishes, lettuce, beets, tomatoes, parsley. Bordering onion beds with savory is favorable for onion growth, chamomile also works well for it, but only with a small number of chamomile bushes (one - per running meter beds). By placing individual plants onions and garlic next to cucumbers, you can protect them from bacteriosis. Onions are not combined with beans, peas, beans. The proximity of sage is also unfavorable for him.

Raspberries protect the apple tree from scab, and the raspberry tree protects from gray rot.

Carrots and peas mutually enrich each other. Carrots are friends with tomatoes, lettuce, dill, onions, carrots.

Root secretions of beets planted along the edge of the garden - heal carrots.

Mint(melissa) - grows well in sorrel thickets.

Under sea ​​buckthorn growing strawberries or medicinal herbs: chamomile, oregano. These herbs with sea buckthorn leaf make a good vitamin tea. Cucumbers are friends with peas and cabbage, but shun vine. If dill is sown between cucumbers, the duration of their fruiting will increase, and hence the harvest. Cucumbers are also compatible with beans, lettuce, onions, celery, beets, parsley. Onion phytoncides kill spider mites on cucumbers.

Walnut has no compatible crops.

Tomatoes spring garlic and dill will help. Tomatoes themselves help other plants. To scare away butterflies, codling moths and protect against scab of pears and apple trees, tall tomatoes are planted. Tomatoes secrete biologically active substances that stimulate the development of peas, cabbage, onions, and beans.
Sweet basil improves the taste of tomatoes; Radish is friends with carrots, cucumbers, parsnips, tomatoes, beets, pumpkins and spinach.

Salad repels earthen flea from radish, radish, cabbage.

Radish planted between bush beans will be larger and tastier. This is facilitated, as well - nasturtium and watercress.

Beet goes well with lettuce, peas, cabbage, dill and parsley.

Celery prefers neighbors: tomato, beans, spinach, onions, cucumber, cabbage
Currant is not damaged kidney mite if you plant an onion between the bushes and leave it in the ground for the winter.
Soy is friendly with all cultures.

Asparagus and marigolds - help in the fight against the nematode.

Beans, pumpkins and corn have long been planted together. Pumpkin inhibited the growth of weeds, shading the soil with its foliage, corn protected the pumpkin from overheating, beans enriched the soil with nitrogen. These plants complement each other, as they take moisture and nutrients from different horizons of the soil, different mineral elements are needed for their development, and they relate differently to lighting.

Planted between vegetables and trees spicy plants- anise, basil, coriander, lemon balm, parsley, thyme, tarragon. The smell of these plants, their phytoncides - prevents the spread of pests and diseases.

If marigolds, nasturtium, calendula (marigolds), chicory are planted between the ridges of potatoes or onions, bunches of rye straw are plowed into the soil, they will protect these crops from nematode damage. Marigolds, mustard leaf, marigolds, celandine, spinach - they heal the soil. If you make a marigold border around the area on which the roses are planted, the defeat of roses by nematodes will become impossible.

Parsley will drive away ants, and also, it heals vineyards affected by phylloxera.

Tansy cinerary, or Dalmatian chamomile, saves cabbage from aphids, caterpillars of cabbage scoops and whites, and apple trees from aphids, codling moth and other pests. The powder of this plant was used to fight fleas, bedbugs, flies, cockroaches and even mice. You can also use pink tansy and red tansy close to it. These plants are also known under the names of Persian chamomile and Caucasian chamomile.

Get along with the salad: carrots, cucumbers, legumes, radishes.

Beans compatible with cabbage, cucumbers, sugar beets. Beans are useful for planting other crops, as they help get rid of the meadow moth.

Garlic protects asters, carnations, gladioli, roses from powdery mildew, black leg, black spot and fusarium, reduces the incidence of carnation gray mold.

stevia(Honey grass) - can grow next to garlic, even in flower pot, on the window. Celery, dill, onion, carrot well planted side by side. They can be planted together or sequentially, one after the other.

Incompatible plants

Grapes are incompatible with cabbage, which is the enemy of grapes;

Peas - incompatible with swede, beans, tomato. Peas and beans conflict with onions and garlic. Combinations of peas with all kinds of onions, tomatoes, garlic, swede, beans are unfavorable. It has a bad effect on peas - wormwood.

The walnut oppresses everything that comes under its crown.

Cabbage - it is incompatible with tomatoes, carrots. Cabbage is not combined with parsley, carrots and suffers greatly from closely growing grapes. Tansy does not work well on kale.

Potatoes are incompatible with sunflowers, tomatoes and pumpkins (they can cause late blight disease in him). Potatoes are oppressed: cherry, apple tree, raspberry, mountain ash, sunflower. Potatoes do not tolerate cucumbers, tomatoes and pumpkin. It is not recommended to plant potatoes with celery.

Bad neighbors for corn are table beets and celery.

Currants and gooseberries cannot be planted side by side (gooseberry moth damage).

Onions are not combined with beans, peas, beans, (cabbage, potatoes -?). The proximity of sage is also unfavorable for him.

Raspberries and strawberries - if they are nearby, this contributes to the reproduction of the strawberry-raspberry weevil.

Sea buckthorn, strawberries and nightshade - if they are nearby, this contributes to the development of the same diseases.

Cucumbers are suppressed by tomatoes; Cucumbers are at enmity with potatoes and aromatic herbs.

The peach depresses the cherry, pear and apple tree. They need to be planted away from each other.

Parsley depresses - cucumber, head lettuce.

Tomato, dill and beans are incompatible with cabbage. Tomatoes are aggressive towards grapes.

Tomatoes - cucumber, turnip, peas, beets, parsley, apple, red cabbage. Tomatoes are oppressed by potatoes and turnips.

Radish - spinach. Redkin's enemy is hyssop.

Lettuce is incompatible with leaf mustard.

Beets do not get along well with potatoes, spinach, corn.

Poplar is very aggressive - many people suffocate in its vapors. cultivated plants(apple, corn).

Pumpkin - potatoes.

Beans - suppressed by shallots.

Fennel - oppresses almost all cultivated plants.

The action of herbs

Sage is incompatible with onions, marigolds have a bad effect on beans, wormwood on beans and peas, and tansy on kale;

Seeding schemes

Sowing schemes are mixed, compacted, repeated.

They take into account:

  • firstly, the timing of growth and maturation in phases (for example, carrots grow slowly at first, then faster);
  • secondly, the areas are taken into account (or rather, the volumes occupied, aboveground and underground) the necessary or another plant for growth, its width, height, spreading;
  • thirdly - "personal appetites": one vegetable takes more potassium from the earth, another - phosphorus, etc. So it is necessary to minimize the competition of neighbors;
  • fourthly, the schemes take into account such an important factor as the absence of common pests and diseases. After all, you can choose plants in such a way that they will emit substances (phytoncides) that are detrimental to insects that harm their neighbors. For example, onion phytoncides kill spider mites on cucumbers, and cabbage fly cannot stand the smell of celery.

Schemes of simultaneously sown plants

  1. Cucumbers and dill cucumbers are planted in two rows (with a distance of 60 cm between them). Between the rows and along the edges of the beds - dill in one line.
  2. Early cabbage (distance 50 x 50 cm). in the aisles - radish in one line.
  3. Vinaigrette in the garden - radishes, carrots, parsley and onions. First, 5 rows of onions are planted (on a feather, distances 15 x 15). Radishes will be removed first (in a month) and the onions will be more spacious. Then the onion is removed - it becomes more spacious than carrots and parsley. As a result, four crops from one bed.
  4. Different sowing dates for different crops
    Mid-ripening cabbage (distance 60 x 60) and late cabbage (70 x 70 cm) - but they are sown not in mid-May, but when sowing early vegetables. Pegs are put in place of future seedlings, and a free area of ​​​​20 x 20 cm is left around. The rest of the garden area is sown with dill (in rows every 8 - 10 cm). Dill will not interfere with the planting of cabbage seedlings in mid-May: "bald patches" are left for it. In addition, in a month the dill will be removed and the cabbage will be more spacious.
  5. (similar to the fourth scheme). They mark the distance for tomato seedlings 70 x 40 cm. Instead of pegs, they plant on the bulb: it will give greens and serve as marking the beds. The rest of the area is sown with lettuce (rows every 15 cm). By the time the tomatoes are planted (the first week of June), the onions are removed. Tomato seedlings, ten days, grows surrounded by lettuce, and then it is harvested.
  6. "Vinaigret" with different terms at the end of April - planting radishes with row spacings of 30 cm. In these row spacings, onions are planted on a feather - in two lines every 2 cm (the distance between the bulbs is also 2 cm) In the first days of June, the onion feather is removed and sown in its place, pre-soaked , Dill seeds. In mid-June, edis is harvested and spinach is sown. In early August, dill and spinach are harvested, the garden is occupied with lettuce and radish, which have time to grow before the cold weather.

Seal (joint fit)

Corn is compacted with zucchini, pumpkin, as well as beans or peas, for which the corn stalk serves as a support.

Peas and beans contribute to the accumulation of nitrogen in the soil. Tomato, potato and eggplant - compacted with green crops, onions, beans.

Compactors for cherry orchards - gooseberries, sea buckthorn, currants.

Raspberries, rarely planted, are compacted with strawberries and currants.

Repeat crops (double or triple harvest from one bed)

  1. Early radish, then lettuce or dill and again - autumn radish
  2. Radishes or onions per feather (in possibly more early dates and then, by mid-June, their harvest can be harvested). Then, having additionally crushed the earth - sow winter radish or seedlings of cucumbers (at their usual distances).

early crops

Frost-resistant, frost-resistant crops (radishes, dill, carrots, lettuce) are sown early - at the end of March or in the first half of April. Onions (seeder and nigella) - at the same time or earlier.

For many centuries of growing vegetables, people have noticed that some vegetables grow well together, and some, on the contrary, interfere with each other's growth. Vegetables, herbs, and flowers help each other grow by improving the soil or keeping pests away from each other. Smart planting will provide you with a big harvest.

The choice of neighbors in the garden.

Choosing your garden neighbors is the true art of garden planning. Each vegetable is planted in the garden not alone, but next to another companion plant. Such tactics help to minimize the harmful effects of insects and diseases.

Neighborhood rules in the garden. When choosing neighbors in the garden, pay attention to the families of vegetables. Vegetables from the cabbage family, for example, are well planted next to beets and green leafy crops. Some herbs will help deter pests from cabbage. Planted in the same garden as cabbage, mint will enhance its flavor.

Vegetables can experience not only sympathy, but also antipathy towards each other: some vegetables stun the growth and reduce the yield of each other. A simple sign below will help you choose a good neighborhood.

What vegetables grow well in the same garden?

I offer you a brief table of compatibility of vegetables. More detailed information- further in the article.

Vegetables Good Neighborhood Bad Neighborhood
Asparagus tomatoes Not
Beans Corn, celery, garden savory, cucumbers, radishes, strawberries Onion and garlic
Beet Cabbage, broccoli, lettuce, onion, garlic Beans
cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts Beets, chard, potatoes, celery, dill, lettuce, onion, spinach beans
Carrot Legumes, tomatoes Not
Celery Beans, tomatoes, cabbage Not
Corn Cucumbers, watermelons, pumpkin, peas, beans, pumpkin Tomatoes
cucumbers Beans, corn, peas, cabbage Not
Eggplant Beans, pepper Not
Melon Corn, pumpkin, radish, zucchini Not
Onion Beets, carrots, chard, lettuce, peppers Legumes
Peas Beans, cucumbers, turnips, carrots, corn, radishes. Onion garlic
Potato Beans, corn, peas tomatoes
vegetable marrow Corn, melons, pumpkins Not

Other Useful Neighbors for Vegetables

In addition to the neighborhood of one vegetable crop on the other hand, it is good to consider other possible neighborhoods - vegetables and flowers, vegetables and herbs. Such combinations in the beds are not only beautiful, but also useful.

Flowers next to vegetables.

Good advice: plant a few marigolds in the garden with tomatoes, they repel pests. Marigolds can completely decorate the entire garden around the perimeter - this will help keep pests at a distance.

Some flowers act as pest traps, luring insects to them. Nasturtiums, for example, are very fond of aphids. These pests will prefer to eat nasturtium, and will not pay attention to vegetables growing nearby.

Vegetables and herbs.

Herbs planted nearby will give your vegetables a more refined taste. They also scare harmful insects. Rosemary repels beetles that attack beans. thyme repels cabbage pests. Onions and garlic repel aphids. Oregano, like marigolds, is a good universal barrier against most insect pests.

When deciding which vegetables to plant nearby in the garden, you need to be guided not only by scientific data, but also by common sense. Lettuce, radishes, and other fast growing plants can be planted between melons or pumpkins. Lettuce and radish will ripen before the pumpkin grows. shadow lovers green leafy vegetables such as spinach and chard are grown in the shade of corn. Sunflowers also grow well with corn as their roots occupy different levels in the soil and do not compete for water and nutrients.

That is why some vegetables grow very well in the neighborhood of nettles.

When planting vegetables, we must not forget that among them there are both friends and enemies. So, for example, potatoes will never get along with tomatoes, but they will go well with radishes. What to plant with what? To have a clear plan, you need to familiarize yourself with the plant compatibility table in the garden in advance.

Why is it important to properly combine vegetables in the beds?

Mixed planting of vegetables in the garden makes it possible to fight pests, increase crop yields and replace one plant with another. Will they get along bell pepper and a quinoa on the same bed? To answer this question, the farmer will need a plant compatibility table in the garden.

For example, when organic farming the use of pesticides and non-natural fertilizers is not allowed, high yields are achieved by a competent combination of vegetables in the garden. If you plant corn next to a pumpkin, then with the help of leaves it will protect it from overheating in the sun. Also, beans can grow on this bed, which will enrich the earth with nitrogenous compounds and fertilize it. It is to select the best neighbors that you need a plant compatibility table in the garden.

Mixed plantings will allow you to use the land wisely, saving space in the beds. This is especially important for small gardens where you need to grow a significant number of plants.

The only downside to this plant symbiosis is that these crops have different water requirements. Due to excess moisture, onions grown from sets may begin to rot. If you limit watering, then the carrot crop will not be so rich. A way out can be found in the use to protect perennial onions, thus it will be possible to save the plants and not harm them with an abundance or lack of moisture.

Not everyone manages to grow a good crop of cabbage on the site, because it is greedy for it. a large number of pests. Many, once disappointed, no longer risk planting this culture. However, if you know what is best to plant next to the cabbage, you can, without any extra effort, not only naturally protect it from pests, but also improve the composition of the soil.

The mechanism of work of phytoncides plants

If cabbage has to be defended from flying insects twice during the summer - during egg laying periods (usually late May and early August), then it is necessary to protect the plant from bedbugs, root secretive proboscis, fleas, beetles and during the entire growing season. The most effective is the simultaneous planting of spicy herbs and flowering volatile plants that exude biologically active substances.

Creating natural protection against pests will require some effort only at the initial stage, but later you can get a number of nice bonuses:

  • improving the taste of cabbage;
  • decoration of the site throughout the season;
  • the opportunity to stock up for the winter with their own spices and medicinal natural raw materials.

Useful planting next to cabbage beds will protect it regardless of weather conditions.


Flowers - protection from insects and improvement of the soil

The worst enemies of cabbage are the white butterfly and the mining moth. Their larvae are capable of causing irreparable damage for a short time. An effective natural repeller from whitefish and similar pests are marigolds (tagetes) - ubiquitous bright flowers with a specific smell. If you plant them along the contour of the garden, as well as directly next to the cabbage, then for butterflies and moths, the attractiveness of this place will be lost. Marigolds exude phytoncides both from inflorescences and from roots, repelling aphids, whiteflies, bears, moths, protecting against some fungi, as well as nematodes.

A number of other colors have the same properties.

  • A calendula that can be planted once, and in subsequent years the plant is already able to reproduce by self-sowing.
  • Tansy. The bush can grow in one place for several years. It should not be planted directly on a bed with cabbage, since tansy has a depressing effect on its growth.
  • Chamomile.

Nasturtium is also a phytoncide. But these flowers actively attract aphids, which ants often transfer to neighboring plants. Many advise planting nasturtium around cabbages as an "interceptor" for whites and moths, but there is no guarantee that pests will be limited to it.

Of all the flowers suitable for protecting cabbages and other crops, marigolds are still the most popular.

For protection to be effective, care should be taken in advance. By the time the cabbage is planted, the flowers should already bloom and exude a smell. Tagetes sprouts literally 3-4 days after sowing, grows at favorable conditions fast, unpretentious. In a month and a half, you can grow decent bushes with buds that need to be planted in the aisles and along the contour of the ridge.


Useful neighborhood: spicy herbs and vegetables

Some vegetables and herbs will not only help to cope with cabbage pests, but also form a mutually beneficial alliance with it.

It will save not only from the scoop, but also from the perennial mining moth spicy herb tarragon. If a large bush grows next to a garden bed, then the butterflies become disoriented and instinctively fly around it. It is enough to plant tarragon once for several years, but it is prone to overgrowth, so it is better to immediately protect the space around it with dug-in border tape.

Sage and savory also effectively repel whitefly, whitefly, and earthen flea butterflies. And mint also dares ants who love to spread aphids from the beds.

It is useful to plant bushes of tomatoes around the beds with cabbage. These odorous plants create a kind of protective halo around themselves, through which cruciferous pests do not pass. This property tomatoes was discovered a long time ago and is actively used by many summer residents: after pinching, tomato branches are laid out in the aisles of cabbage, radish, radish. However, soon after withering, they lose their abilities, so it is easier to plant several bushes side by side. Moreover, even if the weather does not allow the crop to ripen, then the tomatoes will perform their protective function properly.

Not all varieties of cabbage grow well next to tomatoes, so they can be planted along the contour, interspersed with marigolds along exemplary scheme"1 through 5".

Cabbage gets along well next to all types of leafy lettuces, which not only do not compete with it for nutrients, but also stimulate root formation and protect against earthen flea.

Slugs also like to feast on cabbage, especially young leaves. However, these creatures are very gentle and prefer to stay away from traumatic surfaces. This allows you to protect plants by creating mechanical barrier. If you plant borage grass (borage) with hard, fleecy leaves along the contour of the bed, then slugs and snails will not encroach on cabbage. They do not like the smell of garlic, sage, chicory, onion and rosemary. If you plant these plants along the borders of the cabbage beds, you can protect the seedlings from damage.


Bad "neighbors"

Sometimes, without knowing it, gardeners attract pests by placing next to the cabbage unwanted plants. One of these is celery. This grass repels earth flies, but at the same time actively lures the cabbage butterfly.

Plants such as:

  • carrot;
  • caraway;
  • parsnip;
  • turnip;
  • radish.

The above cultures attract white butterflies, as well as mining moths, whose caterpillars then actively eat cabbage.

Each plant synthesizes its own substances, which saturate not only the air, but also the soil around it, therefore, when planting together different cultures the nuances of such a neighborhood should be taken into account. Cabbage grows poorly next to levkoy, parsley, bush beans, garden strawberries.

It is also important to take into account different need in moisture. For example, spinach should not be planted nearby, as it requires much more water than cabbage. As a result, a root fungus will develop, inhibition of the formation of heads will begin.

Each plant has its own set nutrients. Cabbage needs a lot of nitrogen, and tomatoes, onions, and celery also love it. But radishes, nasturtiums and greens of this element do not need much, so you can plant them along the contour of the beds.

White cabbage and cauliflower do not get along side by side, the yield of both types decreases. Everyone needs their own garden bed, preferably at a distance not less than a meter. Does not love cauliflower and broccoli. Brussels is more tolerant, but tomatoes should not grow near it.

Fennel is an extremely aggressive plant, so it should not be planted with cabbage or other vegetables.

Joint plantings (mixed beds), subject to proper selection of crops, help gardeners rationally use usable area while improving yields.

Cabbage usually grows well without requiring special conditions and meticulous care. Her main enemy- pests. Not all summer residents have the opportunity to regularly process plantings, collect caterpillars and beetles, so you can use the help of nature - plant near the garden and in the aisles of permanent responsible "watchmen" - volatile plants. Although they do not give an absolute guarantee of getting rid of insect enemies, their contribution is very significant.
