Vegetables That Should Be Planted Next To Each Other!

1. A wonderful trio: corn, peas, and pumpkin. The secret of their joint cultivation was known also by American Indians. Corn will support the pea, which saturates the soil with nitrogen. And the pumpkin, in turn, does not allow weeds to grow.

2. Another good combination: onions and carrots. Onion saves carrots from pests, as it releases a substance (allicin), which has an insecticidal and fungicidal effect.

3. Tomatoes and basil are not only a good combination for a salad. These plants need the same soil and the same watering. In addition, the smell of basil is unbearable for caterpillars, often affecting tomatoes. And the harvest of tomatoes will be much tastier if it ripens next to the basil bush.

4. String beans, peppers, and eggplants. Pepper and eggplant, as is known, belong to the same family (nightshade), and they require the same growing conditions. And growing a number of green beans protect the eggplant from the Colorado beetle.
