Agricultural term "rotation" is relevant not only in large areas of collective and state, but also in a small area the amateur grower.In plain human language this means that you need to follow a sequence that then can be planted, and that is undesirable.The fact is that each plant consumes part of the ground trace, and growing the same culture at a single location greatly draining soil.Not to mention the fact that the fight against plant diseases is much more difficult, if they persist year after year in the soil.
disease and begin
said "each vegetable one time."It can be paraphrased this way: each vegetable - a pest.Bacteria, insects and their larvae collected in the field, "feeding" with your favorite vegetables, and would be a huge mistake for the second season to land on the same bed of the same plant or another, but the same species, such as carrots and turnips.There is no chemicals will not help.It's hard to name a more pernicious and ineradicable blight than late blight.It is not just ruining the crop on the vine, but is stored in the soil for several years.That is why you can not put on the same place the same culture, exposed to this scourge, or other crops, which also suffer from late blight.By studying the subject that then can be planted, it is necessary to take into account this aspect of: a vegetable than a fan.So, late blight: it most strongly infected with tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers.This means that none of these vegetables is not suitable for planting after another.Especially if the above-mentioned precursor of ill infection.By the way, the change of landing sites do not get rid of the disease, if put to a new place infected seeds or roots - so you can just spread the disease all over the garden.
What then can be planted?
time already we're talking about vegetables subject to late blight, for example, and about what they can be alternated.After the potatoes and tomatoes can be safely planted peas and beans, it will be very beneficial for the soil.Good will go after them, cabbage, beets and carrots.For themselves as tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants best precursors are the same beans, cabbage, corn, cucumbers, onions, greens.Garlic is feeling well after the bean and squash crops.But that can be planted after the garlic - that's another topic.Onions and garlic - the culture of a single species, and plant them one after the other can not, as the plant at the same location year after year.They have the same diseases and pests, and to treat it should be taken seriously.Yes, and they consume the same matter from the soil, depleting it and requiring regular fertilizing.Much more than a list of what can be planted after the onions and garlic.All sorts of winter and annual herbs, beans, cucumbers, early potatoes - they all will enjoy themselves in the former onion and garlic beds.After the onions can be planted radishes, then there is hope to save her from soil pests.Cucumbers can be alternated with cabbage and tomatoes, and beets and turnips with.
And if you can not?
If the land for a vegetable garden on the farm is very small, then the question that then can be planted, especially will not clear.For example, if the gardener grows at a potato, it will occupy a large part of the area, and move it to another location is not likely to succeed.Same with tomatoes, cucumbers.There is only one way out: from time to time and refuse to sacrifice yield entirely from certain vegetables, to give the land a break and put her lighter crops - greens, beans, onions, garlic.And do not forget about organic fertilizers and feeding - they allow a certain degree of soil update.
