Vegetables from the garden
Plants are planted at the site of the harvested crop, which have a beneficial effect on each other. Grow nasturtium, marigolds, calendula next to cabbage. Flowers repel the whitefly butterfly and other pests and heal the soil.
Ornamental cabbage can be placed in the soil after harvesting the tubers. It has an original leaf shape and beautiful coloration. Seedlings are planted in a permanent place after the early harvest.
The decorative effect of cabbage appears in August. She is an excellent food product.
Some plant various seeds of salads, for example Kucheryavets Odessa. The grains of this vegetable crop are placed directly into the ground. On a hot day, work is carried out after sunset, the seeds are watered with warm water.
The beds are decorated with chard beets. This vegetable is nutritious and is grown with seedlings or seeds placed in the ground after harvesting early potato tubers.
You can plant curly parsley or onions, for example, shallots decorate the garden with purple balls. Slime or branched onions are also planted, in which the leaves do not turn yellow throughout the season. In addition, vegetables provide a green mass suitable for human consumption.
You can plant spicy plants - dill and mint. They affect the germination of crops such as:
- salad;
- onion;
- carrot;
- beans;
- peas;
- decorative sunflower.
Soil preparation
When the potato crop is harvested, it is necessary to prepare the soil for planting new crops, guided by the rules of crop rotation. Carrots or parsley are not planted on the same garden every year; this rule applies to crops that consume many trace elements from the soil.
The tubers of an early vegetable deplete the soil, so you need to plant only those herbs that yield crops on soil poor in mineral and organic substances.
Some parts of the garden must be left free of vegetables and herbs (under steam). Before planting a new crop, trace elements should be added to the ground, which were necessary for the ripening of an early vegetable.
The soil is enriched with the following fertilizers:
- superphosphate;
- potassium sulfate (15 g per 1 m²).
The green mass left after harvesting the tubers should be removed from the beds, since it is a breeding ground for pathogens.
The main requirements for new beds are: breathability, sufficient moisture, the presence of nutrients.
What to plant
After harvesting the tubers, the following crops are planted:
- siderates;
- onion;
- garlic;
- parsnip;
- carrot;
- fennel;
- dill;
- legumes;
- beets.
Carrots give a good harvest; fertilizers should not be applied to the soil before sowing. The soil is loosened, the beds are watered, the grains are sown, covering them with a small layer of dry earth.
Siderata contribute to the enrichment of the soil with nutrients. They have long roots, and a green mass is formed in a short time. The culture is planted between vegetable beds, they occupy empty land plots. Then the planting material is mowed and left in the soil.
The following are used as green fertilizers:
- lupine;
- rye;
- phacelia;
- mustard.
Onions and garlic are planted as these plants do not need special care. They have the ability to grow rapidly, forming green arrows containing essential vitamins. Plants produce special volatile substances that repel garden pests.
Onions and garlic compact the vegetable plantings in the garden beds. After harvesting the tubers, legumes are planted: peas, lentils, beans. Caring for these vegetables does not require much effort and time. Legumes add a useful mineral to the soil - nitrogen.
