Crop rotation in the garden is an organized change of cultures on the same soil. Vegetable crops are usually rotated over a period of three to seven years. Cultivation of the same crop on the same soil for several years in a row (monoculture) leads to disruption of soil structure and soil fertility.

Some plants use more nutrients than other plants, so growing the same crop in the same place depletes the supply of that nutrient. During growth, plants secrete phytoncide active substances, which also lead to soil fatigue. The crop decreases over time, and the quality of the grown plant decreases. In addition, pests, diseases and weeds

Get a permanent residence, better conditions for development and spread, and greater opportunities to damage the crop through such cultivation of vegetable crops. In a bed where crops are combined, garden pests will develop more slowly because they will have a harder time finding the plant they feed on.

Garden planning and crop rotation in the garden maintain: soil fertility and its structure, pests are suppressed, the possibility of plant diseases is reduced, erosion is prevented, soil weeds are reduced, biodiversity in the garden is increased Deep-rooted crops are grown after shallow-rooted crops Crops are rotated that produce large and small root biomass.

In this way, good soil structure, airiness and drainage are maintained. Plants such as: lettuce, radish, cabbage, cucumber, melon have shallow roots (roots spread horizontally and draw nutrients from the surface layer of the soil). Deep roots (consume food from deeper layers of the soil) have: beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, pumpkins, turnips Peas

, beans, lentils and broad beans enrich the soil with nitrogen and prepare it for the following crops. Plants with a large biomass of roots, which bind nitrogen from the air and leave it in the soil, are called builders – beans, peas and legumes. Corn and potatoes are soil cleaners.

Crops that fix nitrogen are rotated with those that do not fix nitrogen or need larger amounts of nitrogen. Weediness is reduced by alternating leafy and root plants and cereals, but also by alternating spring (spring) and autumn (winter) vegetable crops. Susceptible plants are grown after crops that prevent the development of weeds.

The soil on which you plant/sow plants should be under green cover whenever possible – sowing and green fertilization are carried out. This prevents weeds and leaching of humus. The soil must be mulched and treated with compost, organic fertilizer, vermicompost and the like. Vegetable crops are usually classified into three groups

(according to the amount of nutrients they require): demanding: kale, tomatoes, leeks, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, potatoes, pumpkins, zucchini, celery, radish medium demanding: carrots, onions, garlic, beets , spinach, watermelon, pepper, korab, lettuce, melon, sweet corn, low-demanding plant crops: beans, peas, matovalica, most herbs. Before planting or sowing demanding vegetables,

It is recommended to fertilize the beds with manure or compost. Medium-demanding vegetables prefer compost, and low-demanding vegetables need very little fertilizer. According to the mentioned groups, you can plan a three-year crop rotation. The garden is divided into three parts, and crops are planted according to their requirements,

I.e. how much nutrients they draw from the soil. For example, plant demanding crops after low-demanding crops, and medium-demanding crops after demanding ones. By rotating the plants, you get a three-year growing cycle. In order to prevent weeds, diseases and garden pests from damaging the crops in the garden,

Plants from the same family (families) should not be replanted in the same place for at least three years (up to five years), as long as the soil is free from unwanted citizen. Different plant species within one family are attacked by the same diseases and pests,

Which is why it is important to know which crop belongs to which plant family, so that they can be rotated properly from year to year. It is recommended to plant or sow plants that are compatible with each other, and immediately plant or sow another suitable crop in any empty spot on the beds.

Lettuce and early carrots can be planted as intercrops on each bed. In order to create a proper crop rotation, it is important that you know the division of vegetable crops by family. Family of cruciferous vegetables (Asteraceae): lettuce, endive, radicchio, sunflower , dandelion , artichoke. , chickpeas, okra, carob, peanuts

Cruciferous or cabbage family (Brasicaceae): cauliflower, kale, broccoli, radish, white turnip, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, horseradish, navel cabbage, kale, collard greens, subterranean collard greens, mustard Chenopodiaceae ): spinach, swiss chard, beetroot, sugar beet, loboda Onion family (Alliaceae): onion, garlic, chives, onion, leek Auxiliary family (Solanaceae): potato, tomato, pepper, eggplant, pepperoni

Family of shields (Apiaceae): carrot , parsley, celery, fennel, dill, parsnip, angelica Cucurbitaceae family: pumpkins, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, pumpkins, watermelons It is good to write down when and where you planted or sowed a certain crop and when the plant grew and similar data

As would arrive at the most favorable arrangement of plant cultures for your garden. In addition to planning which plants you want in your garden, it is also important to take into account the side of the world where the crop rotation is located,

How windy the area is and how you will irrigate when organizing the flower beds. In the literature, there are numerous divisions and tables of combinations of vegetable crops that get along well, but which are not compatible with each other.

In addition to the mutual influence of plants on each other, they are also influenced by other factors, such as the quality of the soil, the amount of minerals and nutrients and clay and humus in the soil, the presence of living organisms (ants, earthworms, insects, voles),

So it is best to you experiment on your own. By trying different combinations, you will discover which one suits your vegetable oasis best. One of the visible rules is that plants from the same family should generally not be combined.

Carrots and onions are a good combination because carrots repel onion flies with their smell, and onions repel carrot flies. Both carrots and onions prefer humus soil and larger amounts of potassium, so it is recommended to fertilize the bed where they are planted with wood ash.

Garlic has a bacteriostatic and fungicidal effect and repels mice. It is recommended to plant it all over the garden. It is good to plant tomatoes and cabbage plants in the same bed because the cabbage whitefly, which eats the leaves of the cabbage plants, is repelled by the intense smell of the tomato leaves.

White cabbage does not like mint and thyme either. Certain cultures improve the taste and aroma of others, so plant parsley with tomatoes, grow dill with cucumbers, coriander with potatoes, and combine scallion with green beans. If you sow chamomile around potatoes, it will protect them from potato blight attacks.

Horseradish sown around potatoes stimulates its growth, as well as beans around celery and cucumbers and chamomile around onions. For the same reason, it is recommended to sow nettles along the edges of other plants. If you have a problem with weedy soil – plant potatoes.

Potatoes will prepare the soil for a wide variety of vegetables to follow. Certain plants help each other by releasing root secretions, and some of them are: carrots and peas, onions and Swiss chard, carrots and onions, cabbage and cucumbers, celery and onions, peppermint and nettles.

Some of the combinations that are recommended to be avoided are: strawberry and cabbage, beans and onion, beetroot and leek, and potato, onion and cabbage, rose and fennel. Sage, thyme and myrrh protect vegetable crops from various types of caterpillars, wormwood and mint repel insects,

And honeysuckle will protect apples from attacks by aphids and blood aphids. Castor oil, for example, repels mosquitoes, while fresh elderberry sprigs help with rodents. Snails are repelled by thyme and borage, garden lice do not like the proximity of caddis, marigolds, marigolds, thyme and lavender. Chives prevent the appearance of powdery mildew.
